Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A young, gay man comes of age in the Deep South, where he is the son of a pastor. If you’re expecting this story to end in tears, you may be right – but they may be tears of joy. Michael Chisum’s ode to the love of two fathers was a message that we very much needed to hear in this time of bigotry paraded as faith.
“God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”
-1 John 4:16
All Y’all Live: Wildcard 2 on Friday, July 26
Tickets are now available for the next All Y’all live storytelling event, Wildcard 2, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, July 26 at RSVP. At Wildcard events, storytellers names are drawn from a hat – anyone who’s drawn has to either tell a short, true story (10 minutes or less) or nominate a friend to tell a story in their place. Tickets are $15 each. There’ll be a cash bar and musical interludes by Nate Treme.
These events are an absolute blast, and can often feel like a combination of a house party and a live storytelling event. Tickets may be purchased here and here’s the Facebook event! Thanks to everyone who’s already gotten tickets – y’all are the real MVPs.
