March is Women's History Month and (mostly) TRUE THINGS storytelling show will honor it with true stories

SMITHTOWN, NY, UNITED STATES, March 16, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The March 21, 7 pm performance of the monthly Moth-style storytelling show (mostly) TRUE THINGS - at Performing Arts Studio, 224 E. Main St., Port Jeffereson, NY - will feature 3 stories by women with diverse professional and personal experiences, to honor Women's History Month. Regina Pasqualino will share a story from her experiences as a female New York City police officer, a career decision she made "to be a contributing factor, and to make a difference," she stated in an interview. "If I could help one person, or add something positive to this world, then I felt I would have fulfilled a part of my existence." She encourages women to take on what are traditionally male roles, because "having female police officers empowers women, and demonstrates that a qualified woman can hold any job a man can hold." Female police officers are also essential because there are many police calls - e.g., a rape scene, sexual abuse crimes, some domestic situations - in which a woman is vital to the police work on the scene."Most of my fellow officers respected me as much as I respected them," she states. Because some gender bias persists in the organization as well as in so many others, she recommends training aimed at raising awareness and changing that aspect of our culture. "In the police department, there is no separation. All are cops, just as all are soldiers, teachers, doctors, nurses in other professions."

Two other women will also share a story from their personal experiences: Long Island Social Worker and trainer Nancy Losinno, a psychotherapist with the MetroNorth Railroad, and teacher and actress Terri Morissey, Co-Director of the Performing Arts Studio of New York in Port Jefferson. Creator and Host Jude Treder-Wolff, comic, storyteller and creative arts psychotherapist, will share a story about breaking gender barriers from her professional life.
(mostly) TRUE THINGS is Long Island's only Moth-style storytelling event and has a unique twist. There are four storytellers and only one of them tells the unvarnished truth. By the end of the evening, the whole truth comes out, with the help of the audiences. Prizes are awarded to audience members who vote for the storyteller who told the whole truth. "There is laughter in the room" said New York Newsday in a feature article about the show in the November 20 issue. Tickets are $10, available at the door - reservations to hold seats are recommended, please call 631-366-4265. Buy tickets online at Eventbrite.
