Description

The campfire hisses and you hope those sounds are nothing more than the wind in the trees. Was that something stepping on a branch behind you? Stories for a haunted summer night.

Who says scary stories are just for Halloween? Join master storyteller Laura Packer for an evening of campfire creepy stories you hope aren't true. Vengeful spirits. Ghosts who want to get home. Monsters and memories. Places, people, and ...things... that have no business lingering on this side of the veil. 

Live show on July 24, 7:30pm with recording available for two weeks after. 

Laura Packer has been telling stories for over 30 years in venues such as graveyards, theaters (where the ghosts made themselves known), camps, and elsewhere. Her show "Haunted" won Best in Fringe in the Kansas City Fringe Festival.

Suitable for a mature 12 and up.

Content warning: Scary stories, so expect death, mild gore, longing and other strong feelings.

The stories we tell matter. Whether we are telling to kids, crafting a presentation for work, preparing for a concert, or something else entirely, what we say and how we say it is important. 

Listening matters. When we listen to each other we find understanding and compassion we might otherwise have missed.

She understands the transformational power of storytelling and listening, and how they help us understand ourselves, each other, and the world.

In addition to her award-winning performance and writing work, Laura is an experienced coach and educator, helping people understand themselves, their stories, and their worlds.. Her coaching and teaching work ranges from storytelling to writing to creativity to social change and more, and has been described as "transformational."

As the sole proprietor of thinkstory.com, Laura helps for- and non-profits identify, craft and hone their stories. Whether for marketing, recruitment, fund raising, leadership, or something else, every organization has stories that need to be told.
