The Button Factory

– Audience Participation Story as adapted by Dr. Mike Lockett, The Normal Storyteller

Hi, my name is Joe, and I work in a button factory.

I have a house and a dog and a family.

One day, my boss said to me, "Hey, Joe, are you busy?"

I said, "No!"

He said, "Good!  Turn this button with your right hand."

(Through Pantomimed action - encourage audience to twist their hand while pretending to turn a button.)
