What is this thing?
“Is This a Thing?” is a storytelling show started by a small group of friends who wanted a comfortable venue for themselves and others to share stories. Although we showcase storytellers of all kinds, our core goal has always been to find, nurture, and showcase people new to storytelling.
When is this thing?
Our show takes place at
7pm, the second Monday of most months.
