GreenStage Guilford Presents "Every Good Story Ends With One" Featuring Award-Winning Comedian Martin Dockery
GreenStage Guilford hosts Comedic Fundraiser

Don't miss your chance to experience a truly unique and hilarious evening Friday, July 11, as GreenStage Guilford hosts a comedy-infused fundraiser to support the 2025 Live Arts Festival. The night features critically acclaimed theater artist Martin Dockery and his one-man show, "Every Good Story Ends With One."
The evening kicks off with a festive pre-show reception from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Marketplace, offering delicious hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and an exciting silent auction which includes a shopping trip, an afternoon of boating, Giants tickets and Broadway theater tickets.. Following the reception, head over to the Arthur Murray Dance Studio from 8:00 PM to 9:00PM for the main event: Dockery's "high-voltage" autobiographical performance.
"Every Good Story Ends With One" has been hailed as "one of the best stories I’d ever had the pleasure of hearing" by Front Row Center, NYC. Dockery, known for his masterful storytelling and impeccable comic timing, takes audiences on an all-true journey through an unbelievable and mysterious romance. The 65-minute show brilliantly blends comedy and storytelling, exploring themes of love, faith, and the very nature of narrative itself.
Recent praise for Martin Dockery's performances in Cincinnati in June 2025 highlights his captivating style:
· "A mesmerizing and relentlessly funny and engaging one-man narrative... Put simply: this is a must-see. Go for the comedy, stay for the heart, and walk away amazed that it was all true." – Kirk Sheppard, The Sappy Critic
· "Watching a Martin Dockery show is like catching up with an old friend who always has a great story to tell... an entertaining storyteller with spot-on comic timing." – Behind the Curtain Cincinnati
Martin Dockery is a Brooklyn-based theater artist with nearly two decades of touring experience across Canada, Australia, the UK, and the US.
