The hit show, (MOSTLY) TRUE THINGS, returns to the Performing Arts Studio on Saturday, March 17 at 7:00 pm. The Long Island based storytelling show is hosted by the show's creator, Jude Treder-Wolff and features stories by a rotating cast of professional storytellers combined with storytellers going onstage for the first time. Storytellers for the March show include Gregory Cave, Sandi Marx, Andre Medrano, and Debbie Zelizer.
(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 next Manhattan show is scheduled for Sunday, April 22 at 7:00 pm at The Tank in mid-town. The line-up will be announced at the end of February.
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.
