Catch Slash on Friday May 13th with storytellers Lawrence Howard and Lynne Duddy

Slash Coleman

Slash Coleman is a professional storyteller who is best known for his award winning PBS special and Off-Broadway storytelling concert, “The Neon Man and Me.”

Descended from a grandfather who was a dancer at the Moulin Rouge, a grandmother who was a painter, and a father who is a prolific sculptor, Slash draws much of his material from being raised by an offbeat, creative family. Often addressing the outright humor of being raised Jewish in the south by family of immigrants, his personal stories also speak of the profound cultural challenges he’s experienced and the inspiration he continues to draw from his own mother who is a Holocaust survivor.

As a lively interview guest, he's appeared multiple times on NPR, and has been featured in American Theater Magazine, The Washington Post, and Backstage Magazine. Among his many honors, Coleman has been awarded The Groucho for best one man show, the Top 40 under 40 award, and was a finalist in the Virginia Governor’s Award in the Arts.

Coleman currently lives in Richmond, VA where he continues to develop new stories for stage, film and television projects.
