\u201cIf I fail at making a cake, it\u2019s not a big deal,\u201d she said. \u201cBut if I have a dream of having a baking show on TV \u2026 and I dream, work, and study to become a great baker, only to fail the TV audition, that makes it epic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
A changing theme each month<\/p>\n
In a Nutshell began in January 2025 and was founded by Bee, Jensen and Aaron Carnes, an author and former Sacramento News & Review arts and music contributor.\n<\/p>\n
Each month brings a different subject. A recent show, for example, explored pets and people\u2019s relationships with animals. Bee said the stories offered different points of view but, taken together, explored the role animals play in people\u2019s lives.\n<\/p>\n
That helps explain what is interesting about the monthly format. Rather than spending an evening with one person\u2019s perspective, the audience hears several people approach the same subject from different directions. The individual stories stand on their own, but putting them together offers the possibility that the whole becomes more than the parts.\n<\/p>\n
In a Nutshell also has something going for it that shouldn\u2019t be overlooked: The Sofia is a really good place to listen to a story. B Street Theatre\u2019s performing arts complex has comfortable seats, excellent sound and the intimacy of a theater rather than the distractions of a bar or club. When the entire evening depends on one person, one microphone and a good story, that matters.\n<\/p>\n
For an evening devoted to things going terribly wrong, Clark offers a pretty good reason to show up.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll laugh and sympathize with what others have gone through,\u201d she said. \u201cIt might make your failure not seem so bad!\u201d\n<\/p>\n
