Of the many reasons to tell a story, scaring the daylights out of a person probably makes the 10 list. It makes sense, then, that a number of the shows this month happen to have that theme. Then there are shows like All The Feels, The Good Girl Chronicles, and Health’s Angles that are advocating for important causes. As always, there are many different ways to experience storytelling. All you have to do is click on a link, find more info about a show, and enjoy!
Want your show listed in a monthly blogpost? Send me info about date, time, place, and a link to your site to storytellingonpurpose365@gmail.com. I’d love to hear about, and so would the rest of the DMV.
