Stories from the Stage: No Place Like Home
Stories from the Stage warmly invites you to our home (studio) for a night of storytelling related to the concept of “home.” It can be a safe haven — or something you had to escape; a person, a location, or a dream; a place you swore you'd never return to; or a sanctuary you created. Come listen to true stories of home in all its beauty, heartbreak, complexity, and contradiction as you sit on set at Stories from the Stage.
At Stories from the Stage, produced by GBH WORLD, ordinary people share extraordinary experiences that you will not soon forget. In each taping, we get up-close and personal with storytellers about what inspires them and the craft of storytelling. Join us!
6:30pm Doors open to GBH's Atrium
