The Tales of Our Lives Story Slam
Saturday, April 20, 2024
Join us for the 11th annual production of “The Tales of Our Lives – A Story Slam” presented by the Women’s Fund of Door County in collaboration with Northern Sky Theater. As in previous years, five storytellers will take the stage to share their stories. Accompanied by the music of local blues artist Cathy Grier, each tale will revolve around a unique experience, relationship or life lesson that left a profound mark on the speaker.
This year’s storytellers include:
• Katie Dahl, who will reflect on her adolescence and the grief she holds onto after learning to accept her feeling.
• Allison Haus, who will discuss how the course of her life changed while she was working on her post-doctorate in France.
• Mel Ripp, who will take to the stage for the third time to share a journal excerpt from when she was in graduate school at 22 years old.
• Georgina Saunderson Hatch, whose story begins with her childhood in Jamaica and continues to her present-day experiences as a mother of two children with special needs.
• Jewel Peterson Ouradnik, who will talk about growing up on her family’s resort in Rowley’s Bay, which she and her husband owned until the devastating 2023 fire.
Performance begins at 7:00pm followed by a reception.
Tickets are $30 each with reserved seating. There will be no intermission.

Cathy Grier Biography
"Asking Grier to narrow down a list of influences is like asking her to pick a favorite child. Hailing from a pop-rock age, her inspirations are anything from David Bowie to Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell to Richie Havens. Her warm-textured, Bonnie Raitt-flavored voice and slide/harmonica/cigar box guitar chops prove that blues is in her DNA." American Blues Scene
The Troublemakers band is made up of musicians willing to have some troublemaking fun performing with Cathy. Current Troublemakers roster: Hans Christian bass, Jamey Clark drums, Deirdre Fellner backing vocals. Additional special guest Troublemakers includes 3-4 piece horn section, harmonica, keyboards and guitar depending on the budget. Cathy is also a super engaging and a powerful solo artist.
Cathy Grier’s four-decade-long career is a rich musical tapestry with career highlights ranging from an MTV video in the ’80s to opening for legendary artists Laura Nyro, The Band, Dave Mason, and Joan Armatrading. She lived in France in the ’90s, toured and wrote for many artists, including a #1 dance hit for pop star Indra. In 2019 Cathy wrote a Blues score for the Documentary film “My First and Last Film,” by director Tracey Thomas, currently on the film festival circuit. Cathy spent 20 years in New York, mostly performing under the name NYC Subway Girl, was featured on CBS Sunday Morning, and performed at legendary Avery Fisher Hall.
Her love of performing the Blues has found a home in Wisconsin. She formed the band Troublemakers in 2017 for her first Summerfest and continues to perform there every year. Cathy Grier’s undeniably powerful voice accompanied by tasty Blues guitar styling affirms her place on the world stage.
Part storyteller, part blues traveler, Cathy is committed to representing Women in the Blues worldwide. She presently calls Sturgeon Bay, WI her home.
