Stories from the Heart

Five neighbors take the stage to share true, unscripted stories of loss, grief, and the people they still carry with them. 

Now in its fifth year, Stories from the Heart brings five local storytellers to Town Hall Theater to share personal experiences in their own words, without notes or a script. Like The Moth, each story unfolds life and in the moment. This year’s storytellers will be announced the week of the show.

About Palliative Support Services

Palliative Support Services is part of the Palliative Care Department at Porter Medical Center. The program supports patients, families, and caregivers during and after the dying process, offering companionship, vigil sitting, bedside singing from the Wellspring Singers, and grief support.

After the Show

Right after the event, you’re invited to walk a luminary-lit path from Town Hall Theater to the Henry Sheldon Museum. There, you can light a candle in memory of a loved one at the Community Memory Altar on the museum’s porch, with harp music from Matthew Von Behrens along the way.
