Storytelling event Feb. 1

Beautiful Disasters, a monthly storytelling open mic and potluck hosted by Trouble Mandeson and Nisse Greenberg, will be held on Thursday, Feb. 1, at The LAVA Center, 324 Main St.

Doors open and food is served at 6 p.m. The show will start at 7 p.m.

All stories are meant to be true, personal stories that are examples of finding something beautiful amid disaster. The theme for February is love: love lost, love found, love delayed and love misguided. The show is pay-what-you-want.
