Meet Larry, one our storytellers for our Dec 10 show "In Hindsight." This is not his first LSS show, or his first storytelling rodeo. A skilled writer and editor whose contributed to numerous publications, both locally and beyond, Larry brings a dry wit to the deeply personal - and sometimes absurd - things that have happened in his life. So excited to have another talented storyteller from the early days of this series return to the LSS stage.

For 10 years, 3S Artspace has been our host venue - we've been together since the beginning. This organization consistently provides a place for interesting, innovative, and community-based art and activities. There's really no other organization like it in the Seacoast. If you're thinking of giving today, a donation to 3S is an opportunity to support not just a single arts organization, but the many creative people who have found a home in its gallery, lobby, shop and performance space.

Meet Lindsey, who's hilarious, vulnerable, and touching story about a tough breakup became one of my all-time favs for the show. This tri-state native, auntie, and creative will share a story about discovering what really matters in the workplace and how it shaped her career.

Say hello to Jane Martin, a writer in technology, and teacher at the University of Southern Maine. Fun fact about Jane. When she was 17, she won a trip to see Michael Jackson in concert at Madison Square Garden by impersonating Ethel Merman at the Maine Mall! She's going to take the stage again - this time telling a story at our last show of 2025, "In Hindsight."

Taking risks, exploring the world, and even signing like an old Broadway star are the kind of things we look back on with a smile or sometimes a tinge of regret. We'll be exploring this mix of emotions about the past in our next show.

Meet Debbie Kane, a Long Story Short storyteller from the beginning. This writer, sometimes artist, and Exeter storyteller will appear on the LSS stage again on Dec. 10 for our show, "In Hindsight."

At our final show of 2025, Debbie will explore the question, "What if navigating a medical mystery was a journey towards understanding one's self better?"

Debbie is always a rock star storyteller, bringing laughs, vulnerability, and a look into the emotions that well up during life's big moments. Don't miss this story!

Meet Veronica St. Cyr, former on-air personality, current marketer and podcast host, and future storyteller at Long Story Short's Dec. 10 show, "In Hindsight."

"As a curious (and come to find out, naive) teenager, I signed up for what I thought was an innovative “reality theater” experience about the dangers of bad decisions." Little did Veronica know, joining this theater group would, in fact, be its own bad decision. Come hear Veronica share the full story about her acting aspirations and the day she learned to trust her gut.

🍻Did you hear about the beer collab?🍻
in Rochester has launched a special edition of their Long Story Short IPA in celebration of our 10th anniversary season! Now on tap and in cans to go at their tasting room in the Gonic Mills.

I had a chance to sip on this hazy, double hopped IPA earlier this week at the brewery. If you haven’t been, it’s got a relaxed vibe, a great spot to meet friends or chill after work. Make sure to head over to grab a pint of this very limited release before it runs out!

And a special thank you for those who donated to the gift basket, including

Listen to the stories this weekend on NH Public Radio on Friday, Oct 4 at 7pm and Saturday at 4pm.

to September 2019 and one of my favorite show posters. This photo comes from the 1985 teensploitation comedy of the same name, which features an untamable wild child female lead who wants cut loose on the last day of summer vacation. When she runs into a h***y amusement park employee...well you can probably guess what happens next.

When I revisited the lineup of this show, I nearly fell on the floor with how freakin' good it was. It's just a crazy crew of writers, creatives, and fall-down funny people. Some of these storytellers have also gone on to tell multiple stories for LSS.
