Back by popular demand, this production follows closely on the success of the February and April shows. This is a unique opportunity for residents of Palm Beach County to tell their personal stories to an eager audience. The topic for the July event is Lessons I Have Learned from Life. It will be held on Saturday evening, July 20, 2019, at 7 pm. The cost for tickets is $20.00 and will include a talk back with the storytellers at the end of the evening. There is no charge to submit a story for this event. These events are so popular that tickets sell out quickly.

The stories submitted to the selection committee must be true and they must be personal. Storytellers must write about themselves – not about someone else.
