Ann Arborite featured on National Storytelling Blog

Longtime Ann Arbor resident Barbara Schutzgruber has been spinning yarns (the vocal kind) for nearly 30 years. Her Acme Tattoo Parlor gets spotlighted on the site. Excerpt: "‘Acme Tattoo Parlor’ is my own story of resilience after a turn of events changed my life forever. It is part of a longer program called “Parts is Parts” which uses folktales, family stories and personal narrative to explore the questions: Are we the sum of our parts? If so… what if we don’t have them all? How do we see ourselves then?" Listen here.
