About this Event

Manny's will host the following events during Lit Crawl -

Phase 2 (6:30-7:30pm) - Six Word Memoirs: Not Quite What I Was Planning: Stories of Unplanned and Unscripted Lifequakes

Six Words Live returns to Lit Crawl with a backstory show hosted by Larry Smith, creator of the Six-Word Memoir Project. Five storytellers will kick off their story with a Six-Word Memoir, then dive into the fuller tale behind it — each in six (ish) minutes. Expect an evening with stories that range from the profound to the playful, the unexpected to the unbelievable.

As part of the evening, it’s your turn: a Six-Word Slam where everyone in the audience is invited to share their own six-word take on "Not Quite What I Was Planning." Then the audience will vote on one bold participant to tell a brief backstory behind their words.

Phase 3 (8-9pm) No one was supposed to know! Curated by Malena Watrous.
