Tall Tales: Shorts

  • The ArtsCenter 400 Roberson Street Carrboro, NC, 27510 United States (map)

In the South we know the best stories are sometimes the most unbelievable, which is why we’ve curated a special block of our wackiest, wildest tales. In this collection of nine narrative shorts two women get real during an outlandish role-playing experience; an apathetic gas station employee reclaims her agency during an encounter with mind-controlling bugs; and a mother and daughter find stability in each other as they are towed away inside their mobile home. With this block we are asking you to suspend your disbelief and come along for the ride — we promise it’s a fun one.

Call Me Mommy (13:09) 
Would You Still Love Me (4:00)
