The Tri-Regional Men's Retreat of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will be held on Zoom and will feature the inimitable RICK HALL, well-known storyteller, Christian layman, and humorist, plus he’s a decent bass guitar player and is married to the famous Laura Hall. He and Laura are now living in Chicago, but were very active in the Pacific Southwest region of the church for over thirty years and sang together with their band "Sweet Potatoes."Rick will tell some of his favorite stories and will talk about the basics of storytelling. After that, when we break into the small group sessions, Rick will drop in and encourage each of us to find our own story because as Rick says, “we all have a story to tell."
Rick loves writing and telling stories about growing up on the farm in Central Illinois. His one man show, “Pigboy”, enjoyed successful runs in L.A., Chicago, and across the Midwest. It was chosen for the HBO Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, where the New York Times described his performance as “spellbinding.”
Rick has recorded a cd of several of his stories and turned one of them, “Slice of Pie”, into a short film, The movie has had a successful run of the film festival circuit, winning numerous awards. Rick is still writing and performing his stories and is currently working creating a new one man show .
