(mostly) TRUE THINGS Storytelling Show

(mostly) TRUE THINGS Storytelling Show

When it comes to the season of love, it can be good to be bad. And a bad experience with love makes for a great story. Join us for an evening of captivating, comedic storytelling on the theme BAD ROMANCE at The Performing Arts Studio, 224 E. Main St in beautiful Port Jefferson, NY. We have a brilliant line-up of storytellers ready to share their most intriguing, funny, and heartfelt TRUE experiences with the worst possible romances. But there is a game in the show as well. Some of the stories include subtle little lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, then votes for the person they think told it completely straight. There are prizes involved, if you can believe that.
