Story District Presents: New Year, Who Dis?
New Year, Who Dis? Some stories start with a plan. Others start with a breakup, a burnout, or a late-night idea that won’t shut up. This show is about the moments that push us to change –– to leave, to leap, or to try something new even if it scares the hell out of us. You’ll hear from people who made big moves, took weird detours, and ended up somewhere totally unexpected. Why Come? Real stories about what it takes to change even when it’s messy. A crowd that gets how hard (and hilarious) fresh starts can be. A night that?ll leave you thinking about what?s next. The night doesn’t end when the curtain falls. All audience members, storytellers, and friends are invited to stick around for the Storytellers Lounge: a relaxed, post-show gathering where the stories keep flowing.
