Written and produced by Merlyn's Pen founder, R. Jim StahlLaugh, frown, well up, seize up and say Amen! to growing up long-haired, short-winded, one-eyed, two-fisted, dyslexic, bar-mitzvahed and unassisted in the finest schools from Boston to Miami!
All-Star Story Slam Winner (Boston, Massmouth, 2010) and contender for the National Story Slam title (Chicago, 2010), Merlyn’s Pen founder R. Jim Stahl performs a show of his own monologues for educators and adults. Stahl's funny and powerful performance took 1st Place before an audience of 400 at the First Person Arts/Philadelphia Book Festival (Philadelphia, April 2011).
R. Jim Stahl has edited twelve collections of fiction and as founder of Merlyn's Pen magazine (1985-2001) has published several teens who are earning top awards in the fiction world. He's been interviewed by TIME magazine, featured on page one of the THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, praised by the THE NEW YORK TIMES, and completely ignored by ROLLING STONE. He's paid parking tickets in eleven states and France. He’s a graduate of Georgetown and the University of Chicago (MAT). Arguably the black sheep in a family of corporate and media heavyweights, Stahl remains thin, white, and allergic to wool.
