'We Are Waltham' Event Back For Year 3

WALTHAM, MA — Six local storytellers will gather on Friday this week to share their work, a return for a beloved Waltham event.

"We are Waltham" is back for its first show in 2024.

The event is a storytelling show modeled after "The Moth" and is scheduled for Friday at the Charles River Museum, marking the third year of the show.

Organizers said they hope to continue the mission of connecting the people of Waltham and building a sense of community by learning more about each other.

"The [six] stories on this show will cover a variety of topics like the value of generosity even when it feels like it failed, the toll of 'invisible' but debilitating illness, bullying, the magic of a Rubik's cube and the value of a mother's support. Tellers range in age from 18 to a senior citizen and it will be a show worth watching, we hope," organizers said.

Tickets are at www.wearewaltham.com for $15, or $10 for students and seniors.

"Some stories may not be suitable for young children so please use your discretion," officials said.

"Also, affordability should not be a deterrent so anyone can email wearewaltham@gmail.com for a complimentary ticket," they added.
