LEWK survivor is telling her story “My Journey to Everest: A Story of Cancer, Courage and Climbing” - from her journey with Any Mountain Song
Tickets still available!

Have you gotten your March 17th Trail Tales tickets yet? Don't wait! This is going to be a great show in partnership with Chugach Park Fund. Get your tickets here: https://www.alaska-trails.org/trail-tales

Our next storyteller to introduce is Mary Beth Kepner. Apparently, nine years of chasing white collar criminals in Philadelphia with the FBI wasn’t exciting enough so in 2000, Mary Beth convinced her husband that moving to Alaska for “adventure” was a perfectly reasonable life choice.

Mary Beth has also climbed a few hills here and there, including Denali, Mont Blanc, Cayambe, Cotopaxi, Aconcagua, Mount Rainier, Mount Kenya, and Kilimanjaro.

When she’s not climbing something tall or hiking somewhere remote, she is mountain biking, motorcycling, packrafting, or kayaking—basically any activity that requires a helmet, a paddle, or a strong will.

Mary Beth’s story is titled “My Journey to Everest: A Story of Cancer, Courage and Climbing”.

We have 10 tickets available for the March 1st performance of You Have This Day and Maybe Another. RSVP to Marcy to get your tickets!

"By centering the ordinary moments that shape a day, a season, a relationship, or even a life, the work asks a quiet but essential question: Given the time you have today, and whatever remains, what does caring mean to you and how do you show it? In a culture that often equates self-reliance with strength and urgency with progress, You have this day, and maybe another gently digs deeper, challenging the stereotypes and assumptions embedded in our day-to-day lives."
