Animal Companions

Stories have the power to astonish us, make us laugh and cry, and open our hearts to the world. Hosted by Wes Hazard and Theresa Okokon, STORIES FROM THE STAGE invites storytellers from around the world to share extraordinary tales of what it means to be human. Each episode features both on-stage performances and interviews about their inspirations and craft, and the meaning behind their stories.

Animal Companions

Stories from the Stage: Season 6 Episode 20 | 26m 30s | CC

As we share life with our loyal companions, they in turn teach us about love, compassion, and mortality. Bill goes above and beyond to try and save the life of his son’s hamster; farming teaches Ray lessons about life and death; and Alta finds inner peace by swimming with a loon. Three storytellers, three interpretations of ANIMAL COMPANIONS, hosted by Wes Hazard.
