Nan loves stories based on history and geography and how both affect our life. She enjoys sharing great yarns, especially Celtic tales, ghost stories, and excerpts from the chronicles of French Voyageurs. Nan has performed at a number of fairs and festivals – the Irish Fair, the Minneapolis Mosaic Festival, Northeast Minneapolis’s Art-a-Whirl, Shakopee Rendezvous, and the Stone Arch Bridge Festival – as well as in theater settings such as Bryant Lake Bowl, the Jungle Theater and the Southern Theatre. Tales have also been spun at numerous and more intimate venues, including bookstores, coffee shops, and pubs, the ordering of which is strictly alphabetical. As a member of the Minneapolis-based Storm Fools, Nan has created and told stories based on art works in local gallery shows. In winter 2010 she appeared on KFAI radio as the voice of Christmas Present in an adaptation of Dicken’s classic tale, “A Northshore Christmas Karol,” adapted by Britt Aamodt and performed by “Deadbeats on the Air.”
