Firefly: Stories On Stage
A live community storytelling event
hosted by Meredith Z. Avakian
📅 Tuesday, August 18
⏰ Doors Open 6:30 p.m. | Showtime 7 p.m.
📍 Two River Theater located at 21 Bridge Avenue, Red Bank, NJ
Firefly is bigger, bolder, and brighter than ever in its new home at the beautiful Two River Theater!
Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or simply soaking it all in, Firefly invites you to experience the power of live, true, first-person storytelling. These are real stories of joy, heartbreak, humor, struggle, and triumph—told by everyday people, on stage, in front of a live audience. No judges. Just community and connection.
Lighting Up the Firefly Stage:
✨ Three featured storytellers (coming soon)
🎤 Five names pulled from a hat—come early if you want to throw your name in
🫶 A welcoming, no-pressure environment—bring your story and your whole self
Important Notes:
✏️ Venue! – We’re excited to host Firefly at the Two River Theater! Did we mention there’s a free parking lot on-site?!
✏️ No judging – In the spirit of community over competition, we no longer will include guest judges or any form of rating the stories.
✏️ Post-show hang – After the show, mingle in the beautiful Two River Theater lobby with storytellers and fellow guests to connect and enjoy concessions.
Want to Tell a Story?
If you’d like to throw your name in the hat for a chance to share your story on the Firefly stage on August 18, come prepared with a true, five-minute story on the theme. August’s theme is FIRE.
Need help finding your angle? Try one of these prompts—or bring your own interpretation:
🔥 Have you ever started a (literal or figurative) fire?
🔥 Have you ever had to put out a (literal or figurative) fire?
🔥 What’s something that’s been slowly burning inside of you?
🔥 Are you a fire sign who has ever been accused of bringing your fiery energy into a space?
🔥 When was the last time you felt completely fired up?
Note: Stories must align with PWN’s mission to foster an inclusive, supportive environment.
