Shirley Scott recalls the nightmare of uniformity imposed by "Mother-Daughter" matching outfits.

Storyteller Shirley Scott longs for individuality in the face of a mother fixated on the concept of "Mother-Daughter" matching outfits.

Story Salon began in a North Hollywood coffee house in 1996. The rules of the show are simple: Five to seven minutes of original material performed by the writer. This open policy, embracing a sort of "free-range" writing, results in one of the most eclectic hours of performance available.

The stories in this series, recorded in front of a live audience, are a sampling of Story Salon's wide range of performers. The result is a unique blend of memoir and observation; sometimes funny, sometimes confessional, often controversial, always unique.

Story Salon Live pieces are perfect as free-standing drop-ins or as part of any program focusing on the art of storytelling.
