(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS To Play The Tank 4/22

The hit storytelling show, (MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS, returns to The Tank on Sunday, April 22 at 7:00 pm. (MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS is hosted by the show's creator, Jude Treder-Wolff, and features storytellers Liz Gannon Graydon, Robin Gelfenbien, Brian Grossi, Rhonda Hansome, and David Lawson.

(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show that has played to packed houses in Long Island for the past 3 years and also features a successful teen version of the show. The show branched out to Manhattan in 2016 where it continues to play to packed and enthusiastic houses at The PIT Loft in Chelsea and The Tank.

The game is this: one storyteller tells the unvarnished truth, the other 3 include carefully-crafted little white lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, who can improvise their responses. then vote for the person they think told it straight. With some improvised story-inspired music and songs written for the show by host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff and Wells Hanley. There are prizes involved, if you can believe a thing like that.
