The Tucson Storytellers Project is dedicated to the idea that oral storytelling and journalism have the same goals: serving and reflecting a community while fostering empathy among people.
These nights blend the authenticity and art of storytelling with the truthfulness, community-building and empowerment that’s at the heart of great journalism.
