Speak Up: The Things We Give

About this event

Come to the Museum for an unforgettable evening of live storytelling, where talented storytellers share true, personal stories drawn from real life. The night is led by Matthew Dicks, a 62-time Moth StorySLAM Champion and 10-time GrandSLAM Champion, and features a dynamic cast of voices bringing bold stories to the stage. The things we give are not always wrapped in paper and tied with a bow. We give our time, our trust, our love, our forgiveness, and sometimes more of ourselves than we ever intended. On December 5, Speak Up presents “The Things We Give” — an evening of true stories about unexpected generosity, difficult sacrifices, gifts with strings attached, and the things we gave away only to discover how much they meant. Join us for funny, moving, and unforgettable stories about what we give, what we receive, and what it costs us to do either. Hosted by Elysha Dicks. Doors open at 6:00 pm; come early to view our exhibitions, including Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End. Performance starts at 7:00 pm. Snacks, soft drinks, and wine included! Tickets must be purchased in advance online. GET TICKETS $20 General Admission $15 Members Free for Connecticut Museum Member levels $150 and above
