The Assembly at the Shadyside school 

Steel City Storytellers traveled to Shady Side Academy to perform for their 250+ students and faculty at their morning assembly.

Storyteller Job Bedford performed 4 personal stories: Pittsburgh Left, Evil Robot, Where Dreams Come True, and Killer CRAT. In between tales, he taught the audience about the art of storytelling and techniques to use in everyday life. As an added bonus, to showcase how anyone can tell a story, Mr. Bedford prepped and worked with two of the 8th grade students, who would introduce him to the assembly, to tell personal stories of their own. The assembly had a blast! All the stories were well loved, laughter filled the room, and suspense had people on the edge of their seats. Leaving the building, students high-fived and exclaimed their excitement at the storyteller as Job left the halls. Job started the assembly with how the power of stories can transform a stranger into an acquaintance in a few short moments, and by the goodbyes they were already looking forward to his next visit.

Even weeks after the performance they were still talking about it. Some students said it was “The best assembly they’ve ever had.” Shady Side Academy will be looking into having Steel City Storytellers perform again and possibly teach workshops as well. To educate and empower others to share their own stories and make true connections is what it’s all about. Thank you Shady Side Academy for having us at your assembly.
