Quick Summary of “All in the Family”

Posted on January 19, 2012 by Jessica Piscitelli Robinson

Videos will be posted soon. In the meantime I just had to say that Better Said Than Done had our best show yet on Friday the 13th. Jammin’ Java once again hosted us, and plied the crowd with beer, delicious chili and other sundry food stuff, awesome service and just a fantastic stage.

Jessica Piscitelli, who had spent the prior night in the emergency room so wasn’t quite up to snuff, co-hosted the show with the ever spunky Jennifer Luu. Both ladies joined a great cast of storytellers that also included Geraldine Buckley, Adam Ruben, Derek Hills, Dustin Fisher and first time teller Mel Pine.

We had over 100 people in the audience, making this our biggest event so far! The stories ranged from heartbreaking to hysterically funny and the show was a big success.

We are already gearing up for our next two performances. Hope to see you there!

“All in the Family – stories about everybody’s favorite uncle, ‘quality’ family time, and what we love about shared blood!”

Recap of “What’s Up Doc?”

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Jessica Piscitelli Robinson

Our latest fundraiser was a great success. The charity organization we assembled the show for reported that they raised close to $6000. It’s always wonderful to know that we were able to help raise money for a good cause.

And, of course, the show was fantastic. First of all, I can’t say enough about how great Franklin Park Performing Arts Center was. It’s a beautiful location, the theater is great, and the staff were wonderful to work with. Better Said Than Done will definitely be back at Franklin Park!

But, of course, the best part of the event were the stories! Check out all the videos on the BSTD YouTube playlist.

“What’s Up Doc” featured fabulous stories by a fantastic group of Better Said Than Done storytellers.
