(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS, the hit Long Island based storytelling show, which recently played to a sold-out crowd at The PIT LOFT in Manhattan, announces their next performance dates for Long Island. Long Island dates include performances on February 25th and March 8th. In honor of Black History Month, the February 25th show will feature stories dealing with experiences related to race and racism.
(MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show that has played to packed houses in Long Island for the past 2 years and also features a successful teen version of the show. The show branched out to Manhattan in 2016 where it played to packed and enthusiastic houses at The PIT Loft. The storytelling line-up rotates for each show and includes Moth Winners, Award-winning playwrights, and performers from UCB, The PIT, and Second City.
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.
