Join PSPL for Story by Story, a monthly series for adults and teens, where storytellers from around the country share stories reflecting diverse cultures, beliefs, and experiences. Performances run 45-60 minutes, followed by an up-to 30 minute discussion opportunity. An American Sign Language interpreter will be provided for all events.
True Fictionalist is a bizarre bazaar of hilarious fairytales, reupholstered folk stories, and tales too tall to be believed! Join multi-award-winning storyteller Paul Strickland as he guides you through a new batch of funny, thoughtful fabrications in an entertaining evening of stories that may not be factual but just might ring true to you.
Paul Strickland is a professional storyteller and theatre artist living in Kentucky. He has well over 7 hours of unique stories in his repertoire, including reupholstered folk tales, fairytales for adults and future adults, tall-tales, and even historical stories that just happened to have never happened.
Paul was a Teller-in-Residence at the International Storytelling Center in 2024. He was a FEATURED TELLER: NEW VOICE at the National Storytelling Festival in 2023. He was also a Featured Teller at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival in September 2023 and has been a featured teller at several major storytelling festivals, including the Cave Run Storytelling Festival in 2022. In November 2018, he made his New York City stage debut Off-Broadway at the SoHo Playhouse with his shadow and flashlight ghost story play 13 Dead Dreams of Eugene. Always adapting to whatever audience is in front of him, Paul loves telling stories in every imaginable environment, from comedy clubs to elementary and middle schools, corporate events, and even two prisons - where he was NOT an inmate at the time. Collections of his stories have won "Best of Fest" honors more than 18 times at Fringe Theatre Festivals in the United States and Canada. Selections from his comedy performance Levels of Difficulty are still played nearly every day on SiriusXM radio.
