Growth comes when we let go of the things that no longer serve us. But, the process of letting go can get complicated. This show explores how we decide to make a big, sudden change, whether it's giving up a vice, cutting off a relationship, or moving to a new location. Expect to hear stories about saying goodbye to the past and figuring out how to work toward a new future of our own design.
Featured storytellers:
Austin Sorette
Paul Marino
Rob Ciampa
Angela Bell
Molly Meng
Live drawing feature:
Artist (and storyteller!) Chad Moore will draw the stories! For some of the night's stories, Chad will create large-scale graphic illustrations, capturing the tale in real time, and preserving it as a a visual artifact.

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.
