BROKE
with John DeVore

Starring You.

A UNIQUE, MONTHLY STORYTELLING & PERFORMANCE EVENT
CELEBRATING THE END OF WEALTH WHERE YOU ARE THE STAR

THIS MONTH’S STORY: GOING FOR BROKE -- TALES OF SURVIVING, HUSTLING, AND THRIVING!

Have you ever taken a chance? Rolled the dice? Gone for broke? New Yorkers love a success story, especially the kind that starts with "When I was broke..." And success is relative: paying the rent, telling the boss off, singing your karaoke game song like a rock star. During dark times, even a little light can shine. Even if that light is a gasoline-fueled trash fire. Come share stories of personal victories, big and small, and help us put the Hobopocalypse in a collective headlock

This month, professional gabber and “notorious roué” John DeVore spontaneously interviews an eclectic cast of unrehearsed, every day New Yorkers with a story to share, and a desire to connect with a group of people who’ve been there, are there, or will be very soon. Completely unique in concept and execution, Broke with John DeVore is a live, interactive theater performance that celebrates that most inexpensive of social activities: human interaction. It’s just a couple microphones, some cheap beer, an affable host… and you.

This month’s special guest: comedian, writer and radio talk show host SARA BENINCASA!
