 STEVE SOBEL discovered Story salon in 2008 and quickly became a regular member of the audience.  Soon after that he became a regular at telling stories.  The word “twice” became a lucky word for him.  He did a Story Salon In Progress twice (and he got to do the second one, about plastic surgery, twice); he appeared in Richard McPherson’s  Menapplause  series twice; he appeared in Donna Allen-Figueroa’s Fictional Showcase  twice, and he served as guest host twice.

Steve moved to East Hampton in January 2016, but he just couldn’t leave Story Salon behind.  So he is starting Story Salon East at the East Hampton Public Library.
