Come celebrate love with GBH on Valentine’s Day! Bring a date, friend, or your squad to a night of craft cocktails, local treats, and heartfelt stories.

Love is messy. It’s does not always include candlelight and slow jams. Sometimes it includes mixed signals, awkward dates, bad timing, or falling for someone wildly inappropriate – again!

Listen to true, first-person stories that go beyond the fairy tales. Explore the missed chances, the tiny moments falling in or out of love, and all of the highs and lows that are part of romantic love.

Arrive at 6:15pm for a complimentary reception featuring artisan cocktails and New England treats and sweets. Then, take a seat on the set of Stories from the Stage and enjoy stories on the extraordinary—and sometimes ridiculous—things our tellers have done for love.

Make this special Valentine’s Day a night to remember! Tickets support GBH. Join us!
