CARAPACE

Introduction

In February 2010, a new monthly storytelling event came to Atlanta. Known originally as Moth-up, the event eventually rebranded as Carapace, after the hard outer shell of animals like turtles or crustaceans. Quite auspiciously, I was the first person whose name was drawn out of the hat on that very first night. It was a moment I credit as part of the gentle turning of my life toward the path I’m on today as a professional storyteller and coach. 

In 2022, the producers of Carapace, Randy and Joyce, handed the show over to me. I am most humbled and grateful to produce this important event in the Atlanta live lit scene.
