EVENTS

An evening of personal stories hosted by Touchstone Ensemble Member (and professional storyteller) Mary Wright. Like the long-running New York City (and beyond) spoken-word event, “The Moth”, this live storytelling performance features local professionals and an open-mic portion. Stories must be true, personal, and open-mic stories are limited to 5 minutes. Come join the fun for a relaxed, intimate evening of story-sharing that brings us together in this place we call home.

WHAT TO EXPECT

PROGRAM: The program runs approximately 2 hours. The first hour features invited guest story-tellers, telling original, true, personal stories based on the theme, followed by a 5 minute break and then the Open Mic portion of the evening begins. There are 10 slots available for sign-up in the open mic portion. Open Mic stories should be 5 minutes or less in duration.

TICKETS: Tickets for this performance are Pay-What-You-Will.

PARKING: There is nearby street or lot parking (here’s a link to Bethlehem parking options).  We recommend the South New St. Garage (324 S. New Street), which is a 5 minute walk to the venue.

ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION: Godfrey Daniels is wheelchair accessible; however, please note that the restrooms are not. Touchstone strives to create an environment where all members of our community, of all abilities, feel welcome. Please contact (610) 867-1689 or via email at touchstone@touchstone.org at least two weeks in advance to request assistance.

She is a Black woman, wearing a black dress, patterned with pink flowers, black leggings, black shoes, glasses, and sports a purple bow in her short grey hair. A microphone is on a stand in front of her, along with a brown stool with a sheet of paper on it. She speaks out to the crowd, in the middle of telling a story. The crowd, about 50 or so people of all kinds, stare back at her in rapt attention. We see that the walls of this room are covered with it’s history. Posters, photos, newspaper articles, even instruments document the hundreds of performers who have played on this very stage.] Photo by VillaNovak Creative.
