LISBON - Stage Left Players will present their third installment of SPARK! An evening of Storytelling at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Trinity Playhouse, 234 E. Lincoln Way in downtown Lisbon. SPARK (Storytelling to Promote Acceptance, Respect & Kindness) is a Stage Left community outreach effort to promote the art of oral storytelling in Northeast Ohio and share personal stories that reflect the unique struggles and successes of the community. Executive Director and SPARK Coach Kandy Cleland explained, "A caring family. A caring community. Both begin when we share and listen to each other's stories." 

The April SPARK cohort includes Connie Baer, Randall Brammer, Cleland, Susan Gregg, Chris Lydic, DeLisa Seals, Gloria Mathews, Robin Tener and Scott Weingart who have prepared their stories to align with the theme of "Waiting..." and have workshopped via ZOOM for seven weeks to get their stories to the Trinity Playhouse stage. 

Admission is $10 and tickets may be purchased online at StageLeftPlayers.org or at the door. For information email StageLeftSeats@gmail.com or call 724-426-1955.
