The Campfireball
a storytelling show about you (and everyone else, too)
Saturday, May 24
4:00pm - 5:30pm
Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch
THPS Branch Meeting RoomJoin Campfireball creator Cory Howard for a storytelling show crafted in the moment around the lives and stories of the audience.
During The Campfireball the audience is not asked to sit passively, listening as stories are being told to them, the audience is the story. The Campfireball is built entirely around finding entertaining and unique ways of getting audience members excited to share pieces of their lives with each other.
In The Campfireball the audience is the main attraction and each event is completely unique to whoever happens to be sharing the space together. The result is an experience unlike any entertainment option out there, the show with the twist ending where, SURPRISE, the audience was actually a community all along.
