Kelly Swanson is an award-winning storyteller, comedian, motivational speaker, author of Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale, The Land Of If Only, and The Story Formula. She is a cast member of The Fashion Hero TV Show on Amazon Prime - Season 1, Episodes 3 and 4. And creator of the one-woman show Who Hijacked My Fairy Tale - the story of her own life and how she rewrote her fairy tale. (www.WhoHijackedMyFairyTale.com) 

Kelly has spent the past twenty years charming hearts and tickling funny bones in all sorts of stages from coast to coast. She was a featured entertainer for Holland America Cruise Lines, and an internationally sought out motivational speaker, and expert on the power of strategic storytelling. (www.MotivationalSpeakerKellySwanson.com) She has taught thousands of people to tell their story. 

But THIS is the show she has been waiting her whole life to create.  Why? Because her journey really started here, in this tiny little mythical town of Prides Hollow. The characters and their stories were Kelly's companion as a child, and have followed her everywhere since. But until now, they haven't had their own stage and their own story. 

It was when they whispered the story of Old Man Withers into her ear, that Kelly knew it was time to take them to the stage. Enough telling her story - it was time to tell theirs. 

And so we find ourselves in Prides Hollow at the time when Old Man Withers has left all his money to the entire town, but with a stipulation. That they earn it. By doing something brave. Something outside their comfort zone. That they revisit a dream they left behind, or a gift or talent unopened.

These are their stories.

This show is truly storytelling at its finest as Kelly weaves in and out of the characters with a laugh and a nod of her head. The show has lots of laughs, but it has even more heart. The stories make you think and feel. They remind you what really matters. They make you look at your own life in a slightly different way. Some even call them modern day parables that change your life. 

People who have heard these stories have claimed:

She's the modern day Mark Twain - brilliant.

She's like the southern version of Garrison Keillor.

She's like a cross between Melissa McCarthy, Reba, and Minnie Pearl.

Her stories are like walking into a Cracker Barrel on a winter morning and getting a seat by the fire.

I feel like I'm listening to a female Steinbeck.

So come join us in our little town about a mile and a hair past nowhere - filled with people you might recognize - even yourself.  We hope you'll come visit. We have a casserole waiting.
