Speak Up: Cheat, Cheat, Never Beat

January 31 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Come out to the Museum to hear storytellers tell true stories about lived experiences, led by 45-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 6-time GrandSLAM champion Matthew Dicks.

Tonight, join us for a cast of storytellers telling stories about pulling a fast one or being played for a fool. Counting cards, forbidden flings, tax evasion, and adventures in plagiarism. Getting the gold medal by any means necessary. Shortcuts, headstarts, pulling strings, and taking the easy way out. Traitors, tricksters, and dirty rotten scoundrels.

Doors open at 6:00 pm; come early to view our exhibitions, including Coffee: a Connecticut Story. Performance starts at 7:00 pm. Snacks, soft drinks, and wine included!

Tickets — can be purchased online or at the door.
$20 General Admission
$15 Members
Free for Connecticut Museum Member levels $150 and above
