Storytelling, Spoken Word - Co-Productions, Season 27

The Big Secret

When Storyteller Brad Lawrence was 14, a friend in his Evangelical youth group told him a secret and made him promise to tell no one. And he didn't. For over thirty years. At first it was to keep a promise, then it was just on principle, then it was to honor the dead, but ultimately it just became habit. But eventually something happened in the outside world that caused him to tell someone the secret for the first time and doing so, after decades, became a lesson in how keeping the truth under wraps can warp it, change it, and sometimes make it not the truth at all. This show debuted to a sold out house at Gotham in 2023 and is back with new stories and an updated ending.
