LaRue, Michele	Tales Well Told (a wide-ranging series of short-story performances)	History, Literature- Authors, Performing Arts- Theater	Despite TV and films, the Internet and special effects, we still crave to simply listen to a tale well told. This wide repertoire of vibrant short-story performances illuminates a variety of themes, seasons, and holidays. Though the TALES are firmly rooted in the turn-of-the-century, modern audiences see themselves and their own familiar dilemmas in those of our ancestors--and discover a bit of history in the bargain. With their powerful verbs, evocative adjectives, and rich dialects, these stories were written to be read aloud. They would have been your great-grandparents' Selected Shorts, had NPR been broadcasting in 1900. Authors of the TALES range from the well-known (Mark Twain and O. Henry) to the less-remembered (local colorists like Louisiana's Kate Chopin and New Jersey's Mary E. Wilkins Freeman) to the undeservedly overlooked (New Hampshire's Alice Brown and humorist H. C. Bunner). The TALES WELL TOLD series appeals to a wide variety of audiences and interests. Bookers may consult with the actress to find the perfect stories to match their events.	$101- $200
