Professor Mariano Gonzales – Alone on the ALCAN

Arctic Entries is the live, monthly storytelling event from your friends and neighbors in anchorage. On our Road Trips show UAA Professor Mariano Gonzales looks back at being an invincible twenty year old whirling up and down the ALCAN in a VW beetle that only a mechanic could appreciate. To introduce Mariano here is Arctic Entries founder and former host, James Keck.

In the spirit of This American Life and other urban storytelling events, Arctic Entries brings Alaskans to the stage to share their personal stories, funny, sad, and sweet. At each performance, 7 people each tell a 7-minute true story relating to this show’s theme, along with performances by local musicians. Let Arctic Entries warm you with great homegrown stories.

Proceeds benefit the homeless.  Supported by the Storytellers’ Guild of Anchorage.
