Salon regular and Emmy winning writer Joseph Dougherty discovers an unnoticed gift in a crowded train station.

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.

Review of Legacy

This well-written, charmingly performed piece explores the intangible legacy left behind by one's parents. Manifested in a telephone number scribbled on top of The New York Times, memories of the narrator's father flood back, striking both personal and universal notes.

Written in the style of This American Life and recorded in a Selected Shorts-type atmosphere, this piece is touching and irresistible.
