(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show that has played to packed houses in Long Island for the past 2 years. The show branched out to Manhattan in 2016 where it played to packed and enthusiastic houses at The PIT Loft. The storytelling line-up rotates for each show and includes Moth Winners, Award-winning playwrights, and performers from UCB, The PIT, and Second City. This performance will honor Black History Month and feature stories that deal with black history and experiences related to race and racism.
The game is this: one storyteller tells the unvarnished truth, the other 3 include carefully-crafted little white lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, who can improvise their responses. then vote for the person they think told it straight. With some improvised story-inspired music and songs written for the show by host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff and Wells Hanley. There are prizes involved, if you can believe a thing like that.
