(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show. For storytellers tell a true tale from their own life, but 3 craft subtle little lies into their story. The audience gets to question the storytellers, who can improvise their rsponses, then vote for the person they think told it straight. There are prizes involved, if you can believe a thing like that. With some improvised story-inspired music and songs written to set up each stage of the game. Host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff was recently the guest monologist for The Armando Diaz Experience at The Magnet Theater and has been featured on the RISK! live show and podcast, Bady House Storytelling Concerts, Take Two Storytelling, Now You're Talking, Talk Therapy and many other shows.
