(mostly) TRUE THINGS January Storytelling Show cancelled due to winter storm on Long Island
A storytelling slam is an invitation to share a slice of real life in a room full of people who appreciate a well-told tale. The "competition" aspect of our slam is a little different than most. This show features 4 storytellers, each sharing a true story but only one tells the unvarnished truth. The other 3 are also narratives of personal experiences but with anything from little white lies to whopping inconsistencies woven into it. After all the stories are told, the audience gets into the action, asking questions of the tellers, then voting for who is the telling the whole truth. Winners get prizes but you have to be there to find out about those.
HOST: Jude Treder-Wolff
"There's laughter in the room as Jude Treder-Wolff opens her second storytelling slam 'mostly true things' one Saturday evening with her own penned song about small fibs and big omissions. 'we all do it,' she says to the crowd. 'we all twist the truth.'
In fact, that is the basis of the night's event. to hear four stories and figure out which three contain some lies and which one is the absolute truth. 'its to get people to listen and engage,' says Treder-Wolff, a psychotherapist and a creative arts therapist.... 'It was a really profound experience,' says (Alicia R) Peterson (one of the storyellers). 'it was a nice feeling to be so listened to.' that dynamic was felt by the audience as well. 'Its different from anything I've seen," says Suzanne Coughlin, 48, of Smithtown. 'I believed everything." excerpted from the Thursday Nov. 20 feature article about (mostly) TRUE THINGS in New York Newsday
