(mostly) TRUE THINGS is a compelling evening of true stories - with a twist - told by a brilliant line-up of storytellers. Performers in this show will tell a story about a true experience from their own life, on the theme CRAPPY ENDINGS.
There is a game in the show as well. Some of the stories include subtle little lies. The audience gets to question the storytellers - who do not have to answer honestly, just to make the game even more fun - then votes for the person they think told it completely straight. There are prizes involved, if you can believe that.
