The wait is almost over. Better Said Than Done is marking 5 years of true, personal storytelling performances — ranging from unbelievable to poignant, and often laugh-out-loud — in Northern Virginia, and you don’t want to miss the celebration!

The storytellers were selected through an online contest we held this spring. Now, the top 10 will perform new stories to entertain and captivate the audience and try to win their votes for favorite story of the night – and cash prizes – at the show! The line-up features:

David Supley Foxworth
Anna Marie Trester
Liezel Munson
Jack Scheer
Anne Thomas
Zach Wilks
Each audience member at the show will cast his or her vote for their favorite story of the night to elect the winner of our 5th anniversary show. In addition to bragging rights, glory, and an outstanding story, the 1st place winner will take home $500, 2nd place will receive $200, and 3rd place will receive $100. There will also be door prize drawings for audience members!
Tickets are still available in the General Admission section, but we expect this show to sell out. Buy your tickets online now! (If you are purchasing tickets in the General Admission section, seating is first come, first served.)
Full dinner and drink menus are available at Jammin’ Java.
