Long Story Short: Silver Linings Wednesday, December 11 Doors 6:30pm / Event 7pm Location: 3S Artspace Seated Pay-What-You-Choose Starting at $15 --- Everything happens for a reason! We've all heard the cold comfort of this saying during hard times. Some believe we must struggle to become the person we are truly meant to be. Others will say growth only comes from overcoming adversity. This show explores whether there really can be any good that comes from bad things happening. --- About Long Story Short: Long Story Short is not just a storytelling event. It’s an opportunity to share the funniest moments life brings us, the deepest human emotions, and the strangest day of your life with complete strangers. This bare-bones storytelling series, hosted by Beth LaMontagne, is free of pretense and over-rehearsed monologues. The show throws a mix of professional writers, performers, and average folks who have no public speaking experience whatsoever on stage with just a mic and a spotlight to tell a personal story based on that show’s theme. What makes Long Story Short unique is the off-the-cuff feel many of the stories have, including each show’s one open mic slot. A brave volunteer from the audience is selected at random and must take the stage in a moment’s notice to open the second half, — not even the host knows what’s going to happen.
