The Newton Nomadic Theater has been hosting Nomad Story Slams for the last eight years. These are nights when anyone can show up, throw their name in a hat, and tell a five minute true story connected to the the topic of the night.
Periodically I reach back in to the video archives and post a Story of the Week here on Village14.
After a long hiatus we brought back the Nomad Story Slam back last night, this time at the Allen House in West Newton. It was a great night and wonderful to see so many old friends together after such a long Covid absence. One of those old friends was John McDonagh who showed up unexpectedly and told a very funny story.
Inspired by that, this story of the week is John McDonagh telling a harrowing tale at last summer’s Festival of the Arts. Thanks to Maureen Reilly-Meagher and NewTV for the video.
