About this event
one storyteller. three stories. an eruption of music, spoken word, and hope - woven from anonymous confessions of the worst things people have ever done.

a kid says something he cannot undo.
a mother holds onto something that might not be true.
a man holds a garden hoe, about to do the hardest thing he has ever had to.

woven from anonymous confessions of the worst things people have ever done, ‘the worst of us.’ explores the messiness of being human, the ways we fail one another, and how we can begin to forgive ourselves.

one storyteller. three stories.
an eruption of music, spoken word, and hope.
