An Education: True Stories of Unusual Lessons Learned

An Education: True Stories of Unusual Lessons Learned is a storytelling performance to benefit and raise awareness of Homeless Children's Education Fund. 

This engaging, entertaining evening of live, first-person storytelling, features a diverse group of individuals stepping onstage to recount their true-to-life experiences related to the evening's theme of “unusual lessons learned.”
 
The program will run the gamut from hilarious to poignant to heart-wrenching, and will feature real stories of revelation, edification, and mortification, in settings ranging from academia to the school of hard knocks.  It's memoir meets monologue, with a dash of stand-up comedy.
 
Moreover, this event is part of Pittsburgh's first-ever Homless Children's Awareness Week, organized by Homeless Children's Education Fund. In addition to raising awareness of HCEF's efforts on behalf of homeless youth in Allegheny County, all proceeds will from this event will benefit HCEF's Outreach Team.

The Backstage Bar will open at 5:30 p.m. and dinner service begins at 6 p.m. The show will start at 7 p.m.
