We are delighted to announce that the Arkansas Women's History Institute will cosponsor a Tales from the South radio show focused on tales of Arkansas women. The live show will be recorded on Tuesday, March 10, 2015 at South on Main in Little Rock. Those interested in submitting and performing a piece on women in Arkansas should contact Tales from the South at www.talesfromthesouth.com
"Tales from the South" is a showcase of writers reading their own true stories. While the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the readings. Stories range from funny to touching, from everyday occurrences to life-altering tragedies.
"Tales from the South" is uniquely Southern, in that while we don't require that stories are set in the South (though a majority are), writers must be either originally from the South or live here currently, and the distinct Southern art of storytelling rich in language, detail, and voice is alive in all of them. Contributors are from all walks of life and include professional writers as well as those who have never been published. Along with the storytelling, we also have live music by different Southern musicians who continue the storytelling tradition and play everything from folk to blues to bluegrass, and more. Musicians play during dinner. Acclaimed blues guitarist Mark Simpson plays the blues live each week during the taped portion of the radio show.
"Tales From the South" is a radio show created and produced by Paula Martin Morell, who is also the show's host, in conjuction with UALR's Dept. of Rhetoric and Writing. The show is presented by The Argenta Arts Foundation with additional support provided by AY Magazine, The North Little Rock Visitors' Bureau, William F. Laman Public Library, and The Oxford American. The show is taped on Tuesday nights in various restaurants and venues throughout Central Arkansas. We also take the show on the road throughout Arkansas, and plans are in the works to begin branching out to other Southern states. We offer dinner and a show, and shows are $10.00 admission and open to the public. The night is a cross between a house concert and a reading/show, with food and great company. Tickets must be purchased before the show, as shows are usually standing-room only.
