The Story Exchange

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Rob Lewis

Join Mission StageWorks for The Story Exchange—a dynamic evening where our own words come alive in the many stories we have to share. Come exactly as you are: there is nothing to prepare and zero pressure to perform. Our experiences create an evening of laughter and meaning, surprising each other with what we have to say. Through fun and inspiring prompts, you’ll dive into genuine conversations, meet wonderful new people, and discover the beautiful threads that connect us all through the exchange of true stories.
