Join us for Cocktail Hour beginning at 7pm for delicious appetizers from Churchill Catering along with beer, wine and a signature cocktail at a cash bar. Desserts will be available at intermission.

This year’s gala continues the theme of storytelling as 6 performers share humorous and touching anecdotes from their lives. We could all use a little levity during these uncertain times, and this year’s “Affair” promises to warm your heart as well as tickling your funny bone.

Featuring MOTH Grand Slam winner Stacey Bader Curry performing “Home,” the story of when Stacey’s husband got a fantastic job developing solar projects in Maine, and she told him there was no way she was leaving her beloved New York City to live in ‘the wilderness’. And then the pandemic hit…

Also joining us will be the following storytellers:

Lynne Cullen – “Aye, Claudius”
A tale from Lynne’s youth in Boston: When Lynne tries to rescue an alley cat, everything quickly goes Looney Toons in a big, bad, way.

Lisa Mayer – “Belly Up”
When you want to surprise your husband for his big birthday, you think big, you think biblical, you think belly dancing…

Julie Nye – “From Old to New England”
Experiences as a Brit moving to and living in Maine offer life lessons

Daniel Oppenheim – “Do You Know the Way to Lingerie” 
High school boys’ sneak-in plan goes awry

Krister Rollins – “The Mystery of the Possessed Record Player”
When a record player started playing the last track on the album on its own, a seemingly supernatural phenomenon with a surprisingly rational explanation provides the evidence to believe in Something Greater.

David Bass-Clark will return as Master of Ceremonies.
