There's always a healthy dose of springtime tomfoolery during April, so we figured that this month's installment of "Tales from the Taproom" should reflect that shenaniganing! Still no props, no notes, and only five minutes to tell a favorite story, but this month we're changing things up a bit.
The theme for this late-April event at PetSkull Brewing Company, sponsored by Seehafer News, from 6-8 PM on Thursday, April 30, is "Say WHAAAT?!?"
Because sometimes someone will say something that sounds perfectly plausible and it turns out to be an outrageous lie. Other times, someone will say something that sounds completely outrageous and it turns out to be the absolute truth. Join us for “Say WHAAAT?!?”—the seventh installment of “Tales from the Taproom,” Manitowoc Public Library’s & PetSkull Brewing Company's StorySlam series—and let your storytelling soar. Tell a true story that sounds like a lie or tell a lie that sounds like a truth. It doesn’t matter! Just be convincing!
