White Dog Cafe - Storytelling - Phila Stories: An Evening with Zack Stalber

Stalberg recently retired from the Philadelphia Daily News, where he worked for 34 years, 20 of them as editor, chronicling city events with style and substance and ‘always seeking to improve the lives of Philadelphians.’ During his tenure as editor, the News won two Pulitzer Prizes; in 1990 Stalberg received Knight Ridder’s greatest honor, the John S. Knight Gold Medal for overall excellence. He now heads the Committee of Seventy, a watchdog group dedicated to promoting good government in Phila. He will share thoughts and reflections and his vision for cleaning up the city’s political environment.

Storytelling night provides the opportunity to hear the life stories of a variety of peoples and gives voice to underrepresented groups such as ex-offenders, senior citizens, gays, youth, immigrants and homeless people. They also provide a forum to exchange perspectives at a personal level on experiences such as war, civil rights marches, parenting issues, and illness.

Reservations highly recommended by calling 215-386-9224. Á la carte dinner 6pm (optional); Storytelling at 7:30. (Preferential seating given to those dining; remaining seats available to those with reservation for storytelling only.) Singles welcome at group tables.
