$5 LIVE BAIT True Stories by Real People January 9 at 10pm!!!
Everyone has a story to tell. Come to LIVE BAIT and tell yours or watch others tell theirs. Inspired by NPR’s This American Life and NYC’s The Moth, we’re looking for your true-life stories based on our monthly theme.
This month’s theme is“At Least I've Got My Health”. If you have a related story, here’s what to do: come to the show and sign up, then tell your story like you’re telling your friends over a couple of drinks. Please note: there is a five minute time limit (we will let you know nicely). All are encouraged, performers and non-performers alike.
Under $5:

Tom Hurdle’s piece Mortal Sins is a play being written as a chamber piece for actors, singers and musicians. It uses a ghost story to detail the disintegration of a woman's life. Massimo’s Madame Bovary is a theatrical mash-up and remix of Flaubert's novel, the creation of that novel and the evolution of people's responses to it. Well, $10, but worth it!
LaVoce: Theatre That Speaks

THE MOST MASSIVE WOMAN WINS by Madeleine George tells the stories of four women who are battling society's stock image of physical beauty as they await liposuction

Jackie Marchetti.
