What a night we had last night. We had so many storytellers that we almost couldn’t fit them all on the stage for a group photo! Robbie told the winning story - a hilarious and harrowing story of getting in over his head in a hospital in Romania. Beautifully told. Unfortunately, we had a technological mishap and lost the recording of last night’s stories, which means that they will live on only in the memories of those who attended. What a concept! Thank you to all who came out to tell and listen. We will see you next month on May 2 for stories about CHEMISTRY.
