(mostly) TRUE THINGS: A game wrapped in a true storytelling show

(mostly) TRUE THINGS, a game wrapped in a storytelling show that features true stories, with a twist, will feature stories on the theme “BAD MATCH” on Sat. March 11, 7 pm. Tickets are $15 online at Eventbrite or $20 at the door (cash only). This show has comedy, heart, and a dose of hope through true stories about real experiences.

March is National Kidney Month and we will honor it with at least 1 true story about the search for a kidney to save a life.

This show features 4 true stories but 3 of them include subtle little lies. In the second act, the audience questions the storytellers, then votes for the person they think told it straight. Winners get a prize and the whole truth about each story is shared before the end of the evening. It is a combination of comedy, heart and community that is truly a unique experience.

Storytellers in this line-up are:
Jack Canfora, a playwright, actor, writer and musician who is the recipient of several playwriting awards – including two Edgerton Playwriting Awards and the 2016 Webby Award for Best Writing in a Web Series. The New York Times described his off-Broadway play Jericho (2010) as “painfully significant, an intelligent intertwining of the nature of grief, cultural identity, fraught relationships, and shared tragedy.” He is currently Artistic Director of New Normal Repertory, and his radio play Step 9 is available in a series of riveting podcast episodes
