Storytime at the cell “A night of Black stories”
Storytime is back and it’s better than ever!
Join The Neighbors at Nancy Manocherian’s cell theatre for a special Juneteenth edition of storytime. This free night of music and storytelling features an open bar and tasty bites. storytime is meant to bring us all together through the communal art forms of storytelling and live music. Each night has a unique host and musical guest who curate the theme and bring in new communities at each gathering. In between sets, audience members are encouraged to get up on stage and tell a story relating to that evening’s theme, creating an authentic and powerful collective experience. The only rule is that the story is true!
This event will be hosted by Ayla Sullivan with musical guest Amyra Len
There will be an open bar, refreshments, and merch meaning no one has to pay anything for the experience.
