Speak Up: "Silver Linings"

The Unitarian Universalist Society: East (UUS:E) will host Speak Up “Silver Linings” on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at 7 PM. Join us for an evening of true stories — both humorous and heartfelt — centered on the theme "Silver Linings." Speak Up shows feature storytellers who tell true stories from their lives on a predetermined theme. Our shows showcase a blend of seasoned storytellers and people telling stories for the first time. All stories are 6-8 minutes long and are guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and think. The program will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Society: East located at 153 Vernon Street West, Manchester, CT.
