Lawrence Howard

There are all kinds of master craftsmen in the world. But Lawrence Howard is a master at crafting stories. Founder of Portland Story Theater, Lawrence draws from his rich repertoire of adventure, personal, and mythic tales to create narrative programs for people from all walks of life.

Lawrence is best known as the creator of the Armchair Adventurer series, especially his first Armchair Adventurer show, Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare.

The Oregonian's reviewof Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare recognizes Lawrence's true intention "Howard celebrates the brave perseverance of the British explorer" and the tone, "...nothing pretentious about this presentation" because "Howard's easy communication style keeps us entranced from start to finish."
