Lifestage Inc presents (mostly) TRUE THINGS Storytelling Show

(mostly) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show, featuring true stories told by comedy-wrangling, heartstrings-pulling storytellers from all walks of life, who range from experienced award-winning performers to many who are entirely new to the experience of sharing a story onstage.
The game is this: all but one of the storytellers include carefully-crafted, subtle little lies into their story. In Act 2, the audience gets to question the storytellers – who can improvise their responses – then votes for the person they think told their story with no lies. Some improvised, story-inspired music and songs written for the show by host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff are additional ingredients for a high-energy, hilarious, emotion-packed and entertaining show. There are prizes involved, if you can believe a thing like that.
The theme for stories in this show is IT’S COMPLICATED.
