What is a story? How do stories work? What happens when we send bits of information and emotion through the ether so that you and I can understand and feel something?
Join us for an evening of stories and an exploration of the nature of storytelling with Radio Diaries producer Joe Richman along with live scoring by cellist Lily Gelfand.
