Master Storyteller Bill Ratner Tells A “Loose Words” Story at LA’s Word Space Bash March 28, 2010 at 7:30 pm

“The lights are barely lit, shimmering jazz tones come from Brenda’s magic fingers on the keyboard… and IT’S SHOW TIME!!!...and the lights fade” whispers raconteur Bill Ratner about the performance event at Word Space Sunday, March 28, 2010, at the Son of Semele Theater, 3301 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA, 90004.  Ratner, together with a group of other master reader-writers, will read a new short story based on the theme “Loose Words”.  The Word Space evening, similar to storytelling at The Moth, is intended to amuse, inspire, and mesmerize, with unique life stories and imaginative points of view.

Ratner, aside from being a professional speaker, veteran storyteller, and three-time Moth Story Slam winner, is also one of America’s most recognized and versatile voices.  His soothing delivery, inimitable charm, wry wit, and delightful humor created a huge following of fans who remember his Flint character in GI Joe, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken.  Currently, he is the voice for numerous movie trailers, TV networks, and affiliate stations around the U.S.  His short stories and essays are published in Pleiades Press, Cheng Kung Literary, Southern Journal, Papier Mache, Nightblade, Spork, Marquee, and Coast Magazine.  He lives in Los Angeles, CA, and owns three bicycles in various states of disrepair.  More about Bill Ratner can be found at billratner.com.    

Word Space, founded by actress-writer Brenda Varda, is dedicated to author readings in a salon setting, using all forms of expression from traditional to experimental.   Approximately 10 people read and/or perform staged scenes to an audience of family, friends, theater goers, and others.  Often, the events are taped and played on YouTube.com.    Other Word Space activities include stream of consciousness writing classes with Alan Watt.  More information on the organization’s activities can be found at wordspace.net.
