Beth Kaplan, winner of U of T's Excellence in Teaching award, is a writer and editor who has taught memoir and personal essay writing for over 20 years at Ryerson and U of T. She developed So True: Life stories, well written, well told, a tri-annual storytelling/reading series as a venue for some of her long-term students to share their work with the world.
Each event features powerful, beautifully crafted stories around a central theme, as eight diverse writers tell honest truths about their own lives, and so about ours. Beth finishes the show with a story from her own life. So True is hosted by writer Jason Allen. Join us next time on Sunday, October 30, 2016, at The Social Capital (upstairs at The Black Swan) on the Danforth. Doors (and the bar) open at 4pm and the show begins at 4:30. The topic is "Disguise." Admission is $10. Stories from past events include: My First Real Job - Ginette Whitten-Day Fair Lady - Christopher Cameron Late - Ruth Miller The Stepsister - Maggie Jansen The Visit - Maureen Heffer's powerful piece aired on CBC's Sunday Edition March 22, 2015. The Night - Mary-Jane McPhee's essay aired on Sunday Edition December 21, 2014. Questions? Say hello! |
My son and his girlfriend were mesmerized. He said, 'I haven't been told a story since you used to tuck me in.' A whole new generation of listeners. Bravo." - Carol McPhee
"I enjoyed the entire experience. The stories were, each one equally, poignant and I both laughed and cried. I could not pick a favourite if required to." - Ginny Butler
