Ex Fabula to feature Surprises in English and Spanish at the annual December Spectacular
Ex Fabula’s annual Spectacular is a non-competitive program of stories curated by a jury of Ex Fabula volunteers. This year, we’re returning to Turner Hall Ballroom on Thursday December 11 at 7:30 pm to hear Milwaukeeans’ true, personal stories on the theme of Surprise/Sorpresa. As at all Ex Fabula StorySlams, audience members can submit UltraShorts, which are 1-4 line stories on the night’s theme, written by audience members and then read onstage by emcees. This year, the lineup will include 2 stories told in Spanish and interpreted into English as part of The Puente Project. This exciting opportunity to provide multilingual programing is made possible through a grant from UWM Cultures and Communities. Project participants invited by CORE/El Centro have met with an Ex Fabula storytelling coach to hone their storytelling abilities, and students from UWM Translation and Interpreting Studies are preparing to interpret stories into English when they are told live at the Spectacular. $12 advance tickets are available at http://www.pabsttheater.org/show/exfabulaspectacular2014. Ex Fabula would like to thank all the sponsors who have made this programming possible: Season Sponsors BelAir Cantina and Tranfer Pizzeria Café and event sponsors the Milwaukee Business Journal and the Milwaukee Turners. About ExFabula Ex Fabula is committed to strengthening community bonds through the art of storytelling. We celebrate the power of true and personal stories to connect individuals through universal experiences. Stories build a neighborhood, stable neighborhoods connect communities, diverse communities strengthen a city. Our goal is to consistently connect storytellers and live audiences throughout the Milwaukee area.

Personal stories will come to life in historic Milwaukee mansion.
Ex Fabula, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening community bonds through the art of storytelling, is pleased to announce “Mea Fabula” on Thursday June 12, 2014 from 6 to 8 pm at the Vogel Mansion. Located at 2221 North Terrace Avenue across from the Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and also known as Greengate, the Mansion is home to Milwaukee entrepreneur and art collector Andy Nunemaker. This fundraiser, whose name comes from the Latin words for “my story”, will provide attendees with a unique storytelling experience. Milwaukee artists stationed throughout the house will listen to short personal stories from attendees and convert them into songs, poems, watercolors, and brief theatrical pieces. Attendees will be able to observe the artists up close during the creative process. They will also have the opportunity to peruse Mr. Nunemaker’s extensive art collection as they enjoy drinks and hors d’oevres. Tickets are available for $40 at http://meafabula.brownpapertickets.com/; all proceeds will help Ex Fabula expand programming, which includes workshops, StorySlams, and community collaborations, in order to give more Milwaukeeans the chance to be heard, thus building community and strengthening our city.
