TUE. MAY 23 // 7 PM
Experience anonymous stories written by Spokane residents and performed by actors from the Spokane Civic Theatre. This event kicks off the West Central Dial-A-Story Project, a collaborative community project designed to share real stories about the West Central neighborhood.
At three booths installed throughout West Central, community members can simply pick up the phone and dial a single number to listen to a story. This project is a collaboration of Spokane Arts, Laboratory Spokane, and Spark Central.
This project was made possible by STCU. Our deep gratitude!
