May the 4th be with you as we celebrate Star Wars Day with stories drawn from the many themes in the Star Wars universe: Rebel causes. Training hard to do something you did not know you could do. Connecting to the Force. Discovering something truly shocking about a family member.
(mostly) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a true storytelling show, with a side of music and some improv. Its an evening that offers a full course of entertainment - comedy, heart, amazing improv and game! Four storytellers tell true stories from their own lives, but three of them weave in a few subtle little lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, then votes for the person they think told the story with no lies at all. There are prizes involved, if you can believe a thing like that.
Hosted by storyteller/improviser and show creator Jude Treder-Wolff (Generation Women, PBS Stories From The Stage, RISK!) the show also features improv scenes inspired by the stories, performed by Lifestage improvisers. Stories by)
