T&G Storytellers Project, with a neighborly approach, returns to Polar Park on June 7
WORCESTER - Friendly neighbors. Old neighbors. Helpful neighbors.
The people next door will be the focus of the next Storytellers Project, an evening of brief, personal stories told on stage. The event, with a theme of "Neighbors," is June 7 at Polar Park.
The stories are delivered by people who live and work in the community.
It's a night of connection, laughter and catharsis.
