Bring Your Own is a nomadic storytelling series that takes place in living rooms, backyards and other intimate spaces within the community. Each month, seven storytellers have 7 minutes to respond to a theme. BYO airs on All Things New Orleans and is a biweekly podcast on WWNO.org.
This story was told live on September 17 in the Bayou St. John neighborhood and later produced by Karen Gardner. The theme of the evening was “Worth The Wait?” Here, storyteller Lee Rubin takes a trip of the mind, and befriends a rabbit with a bad rap.
Bring Your Own is brought to you by Laine Kaplan-Levenson and Nina Feldman. The next Bring Your Own will be a special collaboration with Prospect Three Plus and the arts organization Pelican Bomb. It’s on Thursday, November 20, at 725 Howard Avenue. For more information, go to bringyourownstories.com
