Storyteller will speak in Warner

Storyteller Alicia Quintano will perform an original monologue from her one-woman show, Love is Hell and Other Stories, at 8 p.m., Monday, Feb. 16, in Warner Residence Hall. Free and open to the public, the monologue is an autobiographical account that focuses on eating disorders and various topics associated with self-esteem.

Quintano uses humor to deal with her character's search to find personality through relationships with love, herself and family. Reviewers have called Quintano "funny, warm and universal." She has performed throughout the country in colleges, theatres and clubs.

Her UD appearance is sponsored by the Office of Residence Life and the Eating Disorders Coordinating Council. For more information, call 831-3001.
