Tundra Tales: Building Community One Story at a Time

 — (AKDT, UTC-08) — (AKDT, UTC-08)

Yupiit Piciryarait Cultural Center, 420 Chief Eddie Hoffman Hwy , Bethel, AK

In the spirit of This American Life, The Moth, and other storytelling events, Arctic Entries brings Alaskans to the stage to share their personal stories: funny, sad and sweet. At every performance, seven people each tell a seven-minute long true story about themselves relating to the show’s theme (Tundra Tales). Proceeds made from ticket sales go toward honorariums provided to the storytellers this season.

Arctic Entries: Tundra Tales lineup is set! Barb Atchak, Eva Malvich, Carey Atchak, Anne Kosacheff, Grant Fairbanks, Tim "Kamguk" Andrew, and Mike Williams Sr. Musical guest Jami Sieber is also set to perform, and co-hosts Bev Hoffman and Olivia Cohn will share the stage.

The doors at YPCC will open at 5:30 pm, and the even starts at 6:00 pm! Concessions will be available for purchase prior to showtime and at intermission.

SWAAG is able to put on concerts like this because of generous donations from businesses and individuals like you. Donations above the ticket price go towards helping build up our newly formed nonprofit to continue offering events like these in the future. Thank you for supporting the Arts in Bethel!
