Join us the first Thursday of every month to share true, personal stories! Trouble Mandeson and Nisse Greenberg host a storytelling open mic about finding the beauty in our disastrous lives.

Share 5–7-minute true stories on stage of times from your life where you found something beautiful in your disasters. Or just a time in your life that something happened. The audience can find the beauty in it. And the disaster.

December’s theme: Winter Disasters. Come out and tell a personal story about a time you lost your mind in the dark of winter! Did your car ever die in the middle of snowstorm? Or maybe you tried to escape the winter only to have a disastrous family vacation? Or maybe you tried to thru hike the Appalachians in January? Or you had a breakup during your holiday breakdown? Come out to The LAVA Center and put your name in the hat to tell a story. Or just listen to other people’s tales. The show is pay what you want or a potluck. Bring some food and bring your own bowl so you can nosh while you listen.
