This American Life contributor and Moth storyteller Elna Baker brings the comedy of her popular memoir, The New York Regional Mormon Singles Halloween Dance, to life for two nights at the Festival. Finding love isn’t easy when you’re a twenty-something actress living in New York City… but it can be hilarious, at least when Elna’s talking about it. Whether she’s looking for her soul mate dressed as a fortune cookie or introducing us to the infamous doll Nubbins, Elna brings a unique perspective influenced by her experiences as – yes – a practicing Mormon in the big city.

 

Elna Baker is a writer, comedic storyteller and monologist. Her stories have appeared on This American Life, The Moth Podcast, BBC Radio 4, Studio 360, and at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. She has written for ELLE Magazine, Glamour and Five Dials Literary Journal. As a solo-performer she created the shows: If You See Something, Say Something (FringeNYC, directed by Jennifer Hixson), A Mexican-Mormon (La Mama Etc, directed by Elizabeth Swados) and A Book of Over-Dramatic Confessions.

 

Elna Baker will also run a storytelling workshop on November 13.
