The Downlow was started in 2014 and has been hosted and produced by Laura Shaunette in collaboration with Telluride Theatre.
This special edition will feature a variety of holiday and family-themed stories from the past decade.
The Downlow has become a one-of-a-kind Telluride event, akin to The Moth, where non-performers and people you see each day, bare their souls, recounting true events and share some outrageous, funny, touching and incredible stories for the community.
“I can’t believe we’re already 10 years into this project. It has become a part of the community in a way I never could have imagined, and I’m so grateful to be along for the ride. The Downlow belongs to all of us. I’m so excited to celebrate all of the amazing stories – and storytellers – that have made this special event into what it is.” reflects Laura Shaunette.
“Ten years ago when Laura approached me with the idea of a local storytelling series, I was so excited. It was an immediate yes, but took a little while to get it off the ground. She has worked tirelessly over the years not only to get storytellers stage ready, but to promote the event and hone her own skills. Watching her and the event grow over the years has been such a joy. The Downlow has become an important part of our community. To be able to gather together and share in this unique way is beyond special. Laura has created a space, a much needed space, and we are all eternally grateful for that,” states Sasha Cucciniello, Telluride Theatre’s Artistic Director.
Confirmed storytellers are Richie Stothard, Stephanie Morgan Rogers, Jen Julia, Christopher Beaver, Andy Koningsmark and more TBA.
Whether you’ve followed the Downlow for years or this is your first time joining the audience, these stories will leave you feeling something.
We’re bringing back some bangers, and working on some new surprises. There’s going to be something for everyone in the mix.
