Though Doug Gibson offers proof this publisher can spin quite a yarn on the page in Stories About Storytellers, he’s going one step further, taking his stories to the stage for all to enjoy. The stage show, based on the book, offers a veritable smorgasbord of material and presentation options, from a 21-course extravaganza to a tantalizing nibble.

Douglas Gibson is a living link to the foundation of our country’s literature, and also an impish and charming performer. His lifelong passion for these great writers is contagious.”
– David Cheoros, Director, Edmonton Litfest

“It’s no surprise that Doug Gibson knows how to write with style, humour, and insight about the great Canadian storytellers he has known and edited. What was a surprise, even for those who have been privileged to have heard him tell those stories one-on-one over the years, is the captivating way he does it onstage in what amounts to a one-man play. Douglas Gibson pays tribute to our great storytellers — and even some not so great — by conjuring the all-but-lost art of the great raconteurs.”Gordon Sinclair, Winnipeg Free Press columnist
