Tereza LeeKOREAN STORYTELLERS TO APPEAR IN NATIONAL WEEKEND BINGE-A-THON
DREAM Act inspiration Tereza Lee along with Tae Chong, Eson Kim and Bernard Lee to be part of 24-hour marathon of Stories from the Stage airing only on WORLD Channel June 22—23
BOSTON (June 21, 2019) — Korean-American storytellers are taking the national spotlight this weekend as Stories from the Stage, the WORLD Channel original series that features ordinary people telling extraordinary stories, airs a 24-hour binge-a-thon of episodes this month. The public television series features masterful storytellers from every walk of life, highlighting both our differences and our shared sense of humanity. The Stories from the Stage marathon, which begins on WORLD Channel on Saturday, June 22, at 7 p.m. and runs through Sunday, June 23, at 7 p.m., will also include the premiere of the all-new episode, Rocky Top Remembers at 10 p.m. Eastern (9 p.m. Central) on the first night of the television event.
DREAM Act inspiration Tereza Lee along with Tae Chong, Eson Kim and Bernard Lee will share tales of being undocumented, achievement, robbery, and poker on the series.
In addition to the broadcast marathon, viewers can also catch a 24-hour livestream of the binge event on WORLD Channel and Stories from the Stage Facebook pages; on both sites, users can connect with series hosts, humorists and storytellers Theresa Okokon and Wes Hazard, as they comment live during primetime episodes.
With more than 40 episodes, the Stories from the Stage binge-a-thon will give viewers a chance to catch up on the series dedicated to bringing real stories — whether humorous or poignant, commonplace or astonishing — to American homes. Each 30-minute episode spotlights a trio of raconteurs — some experienced, some novices — sharing short anecdotes related to the episode’s unifying theme. Love, loss, family, food, immigration and celebrations are among the topics explored in episodes including “Lost & Found,” “Welcome to the Neighborhood,” “It’s All Relative” and “Holidays: The Good, The Bad.” Although each story is unique, audiences everywhere will be able to connect and relate with storytellers from a mosaic of backgrounds, ages, cultures and abilities.
On Saturday, marathon viewers can be the first to watch the newest episode in the series. Produced in association with WCTE Tennessee, new episode Rocky Top Remembers brings Stories from the Stage to Tennessee where, with a mix of Southern charm and candor, storytellers will reflect on topics ranging from breaking social barriers (as one teller recounts being the first Black baseball player at Tennessee Tech University) to family matters (as one follows a parent’s passion for carnival games while another gets an important lesson on the pecking order in her family).
Stories from the Stage is a collaboration of WORLD Channel, WGBH Events and Massmouth. Showcasing the communal art form of storytelling, the series reflects WORLD Channel’s commitment to bringing fresh and compelling voices to public media audiences on all platforms, while reflecting the diversity of modern America and the global community.
“Personal stories rich in human experience and emotion can create understanding, empathy and appreciation for people very different from us,” said Liz Cheng, General Manager for WORLD Channel and co-executive producer of the series. “With Stories from the Stage we hope to prove how much we all have in common and inspire community dialogue about our differences.”
Viewers can get in on the conversation this June during the broadcast marathon on WORLD Channel. (Check local listings.) Following the special marathon event, the stories continue on Monday, June 24 with the premiere of Game On!, a Stories from the Stage episode featuring former Olympian and current USA Adaptive Water Ski Team member Nick Fairall discussing the leap that forever altered his Olympic dreams and his life.
Stories from the Stage episodes, original digital content, and more can be experienced on social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and on the WORLD Channel website. Follow the hashtag #StoriesfromtheStage to hear every word.
Stories from the Stage is co-executive-produced by Cheng and Patricia Alvarado Núñez, with lead camera/director/editor Michael Rossi and Chris Hastings, executive in charge of production.
