Photos: Tucson Storyteller Project's "Holiday Stories"

  • Dec 18, 2018
  • Dec 18, 2018 Updated Jan 13, 2020

Five community members shared true, first-person stories about the holidays at the Tucson Storytellers event at the The Loft Monday night. 

Miss the event? Join us for our next live storytelling event "Pivot" on February 19 at the Rail Yard. Click here for tickets!

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.

Do you have a story you want to tell? Share it with Tucson Storytellers!
