Theme: Meet-Cute: Stories of Falling in Love
It’s finally Spring! Celebrate the new season by hearing tales of new love from our line-up of multigenerational performers. Maybe they’ll share a meet-cute story of falling in love with a friend, or hobby, or slice of gooey New York pizza. Whatever they care to share, we promise a night of stories that are authentic, hopeful, maybe a little bit swoony. Celebrate love in all forms with us this month at Joe’s Pub as we present Meet-Cute: Stories of Falling in Love.
