(mostly) TRUE THINGS Storytelling Show

mostly) TRUE THINGS is a compelling evening of true stories - with a twist - told by a brilliant line-up of storytellers. Performers in this show will tell a story about a true experience from their own life, on the theme CURVEBALL.

There is a game in the show as well. Some of the stories include subtle little lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, who do not have to answer honestly, just to make the game even more fun, then votes for the person they think told it completely straight. There are prizes involved, if you can believe that.
