A microphone, a spotlight, and a single performer onstage—these simple ingredients are all it takes to bring the stories of local St. Louisans to life at Threads STL. The project, started by photographer Carol Lara, is intended to illuminate narratives of everyday life and, in addition to the live performances, is moving into creating a podcast series of the stories.
Second Tuesdays, a monthly storytelling get-together held the second Tuesday of every month, is sort of like swapping stories over an autumn campfire if you were to replace the fire with new faces and cold beer. (We think that’s an improvement.) The event is free, but donations to support a local nonprofit are encouraged.
