This is an open mic, live storytelling show. All interested storytellers need only show up and throw their name in the jug. Stories are pulled from the jug, one name at a time throughout the event. Each story should be a true, first-person, recounting of an experience lived by the storyteller. Stories are told without notes or props, as if one were sharing a story at a party.
Now Listen Here is a Boston based storytelling series that originated in May of 2016. We produce live storytelling shows virtually and in person, including both open mic and curated formats. NLH shows are non-competitive and are meant to be inviting to the first-time storytellers, the folks who arrive believing they don't have a story to tell, only to throw their own name in the jug before they leave. We strive to have a wide variety of voices from the community sharing their stories from our stage.
