Tongue Tied

  • Theatre
  • Music

Six storytellers will take to the stage exploring this month's theme, ‘It was High School…’ The stories can be funny, sad, absurd but must absolutely be true.

For the musicians, this is a high-stakes masterclass in listening and reacting. For the storytellers, it’s a chance to embrace the chaos when a lively tune plays over the description of a grisly high school breakup.

Maybe you’re interested in staying in sync with someone who doesn’t know where you’re going. Open to exploring the fun in getting things wrong and think you’ll love that electric feeling when - against all odds - the story and the music land on the same note. Maybe you should tell a story?
