What Will The Neighbors Say? To Present Free Storytime Series At The Cell Theatre

Free Storytelling Event with Open Bar April 17, May 15 & June 19 @ the cell theatre
Join What Will the Neighbors Say? (James Clements and Sam Hood Adrian, Co-Artistic Directors) at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre (338 West 23rd Street New York, NY 10011) on the third Monday of every month for storytime, a free night of music and storytelling featuring an open bar and tasty bites. Doors will open at 7pm, with music and stories from 7:30-9pm. Tickets can be reserved at https://storytimeatthecell.eventbrite.com.
storytime is meant to bring us all together through the communal art forms of storytelling and live music.

Each night has a unique host and musical guest who curate the theme and bring in new communities at each gathering. In between sets, audience members are encouraged to get up on stage and tell a story relating to that evening's theme, creating an authentic and powerful collective experience. The only rule is that the story is true!

The storytime kick-off event on Monday, April 17th will be hosted by Xavier Reyes (CLYDE'S at George Street Playhouse; National Tour of Kinky Boots) with musical guest Kathryn Allison (Original Broadway Cast of Company; Wicked on Broadway).

April's workshop will be hosted by Daniela Gonzalez y Perez (Clubbed Thumb's Early-Career Writer's Group; Latinx Playwrights Circle's Intensive Mentorship Program).
