A World Premiere ADULT STORYTIME is a stirring collection of autobiographical monologues that explore the hardships and unexpected humor of caring for those we love across every stage of life. Set against a live blues composition that pulses beneath each story, the piece weaves music and memory into a richly textured theatrical experience. Shaped by the voices of relatives, coworkers, peers, and members of the public, Gobel crafts an intimate mosaic of testimony. Humor lives beside grief. Tenderness shares space with frustration. The result is a portrait of caregiving that is as complex and contradictory as love itself. Throughout the evening, guests are welcomed to reflect on and share their own stories, creating a communal space for truth telling and connection. Blending vulnerability with musical virtuosity, Adult Storytime offers blues through the weight of hesitation, laughter in recognition, and perhaps your own story illuminated on stage. Featuring Cecilia Cuevas-Torres, Dave Rivas, Meesha, and Wilfred Paloma, with Jasmine January leading The Storytellers Band made up of Jacob Gobel on keys, Kemet Gobel on bass, Kahir Brown on drums, and Alejandro Juarez on Guitar. Contains mature themes: grief, caregiving, family trauma, emotional vulnerability, and adult content Pay What You Choose Performance Thursday, June 11 This is an open seating event: https://app.ticketowl.io/o/aQjbg4XQ7VXZvjE4/event/aZTBRRIK_bp0P6IB OnWord Theatre: Website / Facebook / Instagram
