(mostly) TRUE THINGS is a game wrapped in a storytelling show, featuring true stories told by people drawn from the fantastic pool of Moth-winning, comedy-wrangling, heartstrings-pulling storytellers in the New York area, – and now beyond New York with shows in the midwest. The game is this: one storyteller tells the unvarnished truth, 3 storytellers include little white ies. The audience gets to question the storytellers, who can improvise their answers, then vote for the person they think told it straight. With some improvised story-inspired music and songs written for the show by host/creator Jude Treder-Wolff and Wells Hanley. Its a high-energy, often hilarious, always-entertaining show with an audience that is a ton of fun. There are prizes involved if you can believe a thing like that.

In fact, that is the basis of the night’s event. to hear four stories and figure out which three contain some lies and which one is the absolute truth. ‘its to get people to listen and engage,’ says Treder-Wolff, a psychotherapist and a creative arts therapist … “Newsday feature article by Stacey Altherr

“As a comedian telling the truth on the stage for 25 years, I’ve never had so much fun being a big fat liar…for the most part. Storytelling with (mostly) TRUE THINGS is such a fun experience, I would tell stories every month, if I had more exciting life. And that’s no lie.” Stevie GB, comedian
“My first experience telling my story in front of a live audience was at Mostly True Things created by Jude Treder-Wolff. It was an amazing experience. I could not have asked for a more supportive atmosphere. All of the other performers were wonderful including my teacher, Hal Peller and the theatre is so intimate and delightful and the audience was spectacular. ”
