City Stories: Where Everybody Knows Your Name

Where are you ‘a regular’?

Living in a city can sometimes be isolating. Between the crowds, chaos, and constantly changing neighborhoods, city life can sometimes feel impersonal and unmanageable. That is why it is important to have a spot, that one place where you can count on seeing a familiar face and being seen as more than just a face in the crowd. If knowing the lingo and being able to navigate the city means you are a local, becoming a regular at a dive bar or coffee shop means you belong. In a night of storytelling hosted by 20-time Moth story SLAM champion Adam Wade, we’ll hear tales of the joys and pitfalls of being a regular from some of the most talented performers on the scene.

Participants: Michelle Levy, artist; TJ Mannix, actor, singer, improviser; Thomas Pryor, storyteller, photographer, and writer of ‘Yorkville: Stoops to Nuts’; Kathleen Spellman, stand-up comedian; and Adam Wade, 20-time MOTH StorySLAM champion.
