THE THEME OF THE NIGHT IS “MY BEST ADVICE: THE WISE WORDS THAT CHANGED ME”

TICKETS ON SALE NOW

This month, we’re asking our multigenerational storytellers to reflect on the best — or most memorable — advice they ever received. We look to others for advice on everything: how to live, love, laugh, and make meaning of this crazy thing called life. This October we’ll find out what words stuck with our storytellers. It could be advice spoken by a parent, friend, or mentee, or lessons absorbed from a film, public figure, or total stranger. Maybe it was great advice, or maybe it was bad advice that still had a lifelong impact. Looking for some wise words? You won’t want to miss this fascinating Fall show.
