This Friday, January 25th at 8pm, find Extempo's 8th annual 'Tell Off' at the American Legion, 16 Stowe Street, in downtown Waterbury. The Tell Off marks opening night of Winterfest: ten days of events & activities in the Town of Waterbury. Come listen to the monthly winners of Central Vermont's storytelling series go head-to-head on stage, each telling a new, ten-minute, first-person, true story...without using any notes or reading. At this year's Tell Off, you'll hear the real-life adventures, foibles, & challenges of: Lori Cohen (Barre Town), Scott Labun (Newbury), Josie Leavitt (Grand Isle), Jill Missal (Essex), Leslie Ruster (Marshfield), & Ray VanVoorhis (Waterbury). Come listen to Vermonters recount with humor, passion, & heart. Your faith in humanity might just be rejuvenated and restored...and you get to vote for your favorite story!

$10 admission, and half of all proceeds--after $600 prize money is awarded--benefits Waterbury Recreation. Plenty of seating in the American Legion and an inexpensive cash bar. (Note: This year's Tell Off is roughly 'family friendly,' with no story rated any more 'adult' than PG-13. Middleschoolers with their parents, and older kids, welcome at this one!)
