Lower East Side Stories:

Down and Out in New York City

Hosted by H.R. Britton

Thursday April 16 at 6:30 PM

You’ve probably been there before – sleeping on a friend’s couch, last dollar spent, hoping tomorrow’s audition or interview will finally jumpstart your life. Our storytellers certainly have. Join us for tales of life on the margins and real people trying to make it in the big, bad city. As always guests are welcome to share their own three-minute tales of tough times in the Big Apple. Storytellers include Avner Kam, Lisa Kirchner, Faye Lane, and Marie Mundaca.

I'll be talking about Living the Dream in New York City and what it taught me about love.
