May 24, Tuesday, 7pm, “Stories on Stage: A ‘moth-like’ Experience,” the acclaimed program dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. It is a celebration of the story and the storytellers- who voices share true tales of ordinary life, who has lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. Our shows will showcase a great range of human experience. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, we will create a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience. The audience will vote for their favorite story/storyteller and he/she will receive a prize! As The Moth so brilliantly does, our hope is that the “stories dissolve socio-economic barriers, expose vulnerabilities, and quietly suggest ways to overcome challenges and see with new eyes”, $5, The Footlights Theatre, 190 US Route 1, Falmouth. FMI: 207-747-5434, www.thefootlightsinfalmouth.com.
