SUMMARY:Porchlight Stories
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the weekly NPR “Moth Radio Hour\,” storytellers tell a 5 to 7 minute true story about themselves without prompts or notes. Each personal story defines an event or series of united events where something could be gained or lost . Their stories tell tales of love\, midnight adventure\, childhood misconception\, teenage thugs\, and more. The storyteller’s perception of reality\, themselves\, or their relationships is altered in unexpected ways as is our own. Expect to be intrigued\, amused and moved by these very personal stories\, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself bursting out with laughter or holding back tears. The performance will be held Thursday\, May 14th from 7-8:30pm.
