Rabbit Box: Raconteurs Perform at the Melting Point in Athens, Ga.

Rabbit Box is an evening of entertainment featuring ordinary people, a stage and a microphone that happens once a month. The people stand in front of an audience and tell a brief story about something in their lives. It's exhilirating to do--I speak from experience--and fun to hear.

The crowds for Rabbit Box grew too large for an upstairs room in the Globe. So the event has moved to the Melting Point. Janary's Rabbit Box convenes this Wednesday the 16th, at 7pm. Doors open at 6pm. Come early, because sometimes the place fills fast.

Each month has a theme. This go-round, the theme is "resolution."

Telling stories will be David Noah, Kelly Girtz, Casey Morrison, Jeffrey Henderson, Madeline Van Dyck, Ciera Durden, Benjamin Myers and Dac Crossley (who has written many wonderful books about cowboys and Texas.) Roger Stahl will be our MC.

At the end of intermission, someone's name from the audience will be called, and that person will stand and deliver, so to speak. Organizer Marci White is calling the audience member a "Crackerjack Surprise storyteller." So put your name in the Rabbit Box if you dare.

If not, come hear others tell stories. Admission is $5.
