So what is story?

Story is life. Story is power. Story is humor. Song. Truth. Story is us.

Since 2017, I have brought Boston Globe stories to the stage as the founding editor and director of Globe Live, a live storytelling show at the Paramount Center in Boston. Personal essays. Reported magazine-style pieces. Humor. Music. And more.

What binds these stories together is this: They’re true. True to how we live. True to our world. Our histories. Our feelings and our identities.
