Now Or Never
stories from the stage

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to say yes more often? Stories about what happened when storytellers took that leap in the hopes of landing on their feet. Tom Williams whips out his wallet for a splurge of the midlife crisis kind; Adam Stumacher volunteers as a human shield in the West Bank to experience the other side of the checkpoint; and determined to beat her disease, Karen Mae Black takes a spontaneous, ill-advised trip to Ireland. Three storytellers, three interpretations of NOW OR NEVER, hosted by Theresa Okokon.

Duration: 26 minutes and 40 seconds

Episode Number: 303
