A teacher, a researcher, a social worker and a parent tell stories from all sides of the world of education in (mostly) TRUE THINGS June 20 performance.

SMITHTOWN, NY, UNITED STATES, May 29, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Four storytellers, each with a different perspective on the hilarious and heartbreaking events that happen in schools, school systems and the world of learning take the stage in the June 20 performance of (mostly) TRUE THINGS at Performing Arts Studio of New York, 224 E. Main St., Port Jefferson, NY 11777. The show begins at 7 pm and tickets are $10, available online at Brown Paper Tickets. Reservations can be made by calling 631-366-4265. Payment at the door is cash only.

(mostly) TRUE THINGS features true stories - with a twist - told live, without notes. Each show presents four storytellers who share an 8-10 minute story from their own life. Only one of them is telling the unvarnished truth. The other 3 change some details or include carefully crafted little white lies. None of these changes impact the emotional arc of the story, so this show is an evening of authenticity, heart, and lots of comedy rooted in real life experiences. By the end of the evening, the whole truth comes out, with the help of the audience.
