Story District Will Kick Off 2023 With FIRSTS & LASTS at Union Stage

Story District is ushering in the new year January 10, 2023, with Firsts & Lasts at Union Stage.

Every new beginning has an end. Firsts & Lasts features true tales told live on bringing in the new and letting go of the old. First kisses, break-ups, new jobs, returning from adventures - all experiences that offer diverse perspectives we can carry with us into the new year. As we reflect on another year gone by and the fresh year ahead, connect with the community over the stories that make up our beginnings and define our endings.

Story District's Artistic Executive Director Amy Saidman says in Firsts & Lasts, "Every good story involves a change. The beauty of a theme like 'firsts and lasts'' is that change is built into it. And beginnings and endings are often significant and memorable moments in our lives."

Tickets to Story District's Firsts & Lasts are now on sale at https://www.storydistrict.org/tickets/firsts. An online media kit with photos, videos, and more can be accessed here.
