(Mostly) True Things Storytelling Show Comes to Port Washington

(mostly) TRUE THINGS is a monthly storytelling show that features true stories - with a twist - told live, without notes and the only one of its kind on Long Island. This show is an entirely unique entertainment experience that includes hilarious and heartful stories as well as a game that involves the audience.

All the stories except one include carefully-crafted deceptions, and the audience has an opportunity to question the storytellers, then vote for the person who told the unvarnished truth. Audience members who choose the correct person get a prize.

Storytellers includes Mary Theresa Archbold, whose story “Our Normal” was on NPR”s Moth Radio Hour and was interviewed in NPR’s This American Life episode titled “In Plain Sight,” Long Island comic Stevie Gb, a stand-up comic and writer who is a regular in the Long Island Comedy Festival and performs with headliners all over the east coast, and Robin Bady, who performs all over the world, offers storytelling shows in her Brooklyn home and was awarded the 2012 JJ Reneax Emerging Artist Grant.

Host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff is storyteller, singer/songwriter and writer/performer who is an active in New York storytelling scene. She offers Transformative Storytelling workshops as well as private coaching sessions, was featured onstage in the groundbreaking RISK! live storytelling show and podcast, and has told stories at The Moth in New York and Prose Of Pie in Tarrytown, NY.

With musical director Wells Hanley she co-wrote the lyrics and music for the songs used to set up every stage of the game in (mostly) TRUE THINGS. “Self-medicate with real-life therapist Jude Treder-Wolff. Expect the unexpected! And without the hourly rates!” wrote the New York Daily News about her comedy/cabaret show Jude Treder-Wolff’s Thursday Nite Psychotherapy Hour.
