Stories from the Stage invites you to our Brighton studio for an evening inspired by the spooky season. You know that feeling — a noise you can’t explain, your heart starts to race, your stomach drops, and suddenly you’re covered in goosebumps. Some of these stories involve ghosts… others are simply strange, eerie, or delightfully unsettling — but all of them are true. Come be part of our live audience. You’ll laugh, gasp, and hear stories that just might make you wonder.

At Stories from the Stage, produced by GBH WORLD, ordinary people share extraordinary experiences that you will not soon forget. In each taping, we get up-close and personal with storytellers about what inspires them and the craft of storytelling. Join us!

Stories from the Stage warmly invites you to our home (studio) for a night of storytelling related to the concept of “home.” It can be a safe haven — or something you had to escape; a person, a location, or a dream; a place you swore you'd never return to; or a sanctuary you created. Come listen to true stories of home in all its beauty, heartbreak, complexity, and contradiction as you sit on set at Stories from the Stage.

Join us for an evening of true stories about adventure, mishaps, and self-discovery—where the road traveled, both literal and emotional, takes center stage. Every journey has a story—some thrilling, some disastrous, and some life-changing. Maybe it was a dream vacation, a dreaded work trip, or a long-awaited family reunion. Or perhaps the real journey wasn’t just about miles traveled, but the transformation within. Enjoy these stories as you sit on set at Stories from the Stage.
