Long Story Short: Comfort Zone at 3S Artspace

Long Story Short: Comfort Zone
Wednesday, June 10
Doors 6:30pm / Event 7pm
Seated
Pay-What-You-Choose Starting at $15
Spending time with trusted friends, living at home with your parents, being in a relationship that feels warm and safe–for many of us, this is our comfort zone. But life can hand us circumstances that force us out, where we’re left to pick up the pieces and build a new nest of our own. This show will highlight the times we left our comfort zone, either by breaking free or being thrust out against our will. Leaving home, break ups, giving up on jobs and friendships are all fair game.

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.
