SpeakEasy's producer

Sherry Weaver loves stories! She created SpeakEasy because she couldn't convince people to climb into bed with her at night and tell her stories. She hosts SpeakEasy and has been likened to a den mother, ushering well-known and up-and-coming storytellers up onto the stage with her candid and solicitous manner.
