This interactive, thought-provoking evening of storytelling will have you asking yourself how you choose what to believe.
About this Event

Professor David Reiley, research scientist by trade and curious experimenter by nature, examines (with your help!) how we form our beliefs and how these beliefs shape our lives.

In this captivating performance, David examines the power and importance of experimentation and beliefs through a series of personal stories on topics including love, baseball, phone sex, and Magic: The Gathering.

You'll think about your beliefs in a way you may never have before, and you may even start some experiments of your own.

Audiences are saying:

“It’s humorous, poignant, thoughtful and entertaining and made me smile.”

“I was moved by your story… and would go again.”

“Intelligent, brutally honest, and hopeful."

“It was brave... and valuable.”

"Witnessing his vulnerability... was enriching"

"The most moving art I've experienced in a long time."
