Thompson Park Theater Barn
Everyone Has a Story
Saturday, September 26 from 6-8 p.m.
Gather in the Theatre Barn for a night of storytelling through life experiences. James Dalton, creator of AP&Me Productions, invites a cast of different characters from the region, all with unique voices and perspectives, all sharing their stories through a variety of topical prompts. Audience members will be encouraged to share their stories that relate to the given prompts as time allows. Light refreshments will be served.
