True stories, told live. Since its first iteration in 2013 to today, the Gloucester Writers Centers “Moth”-like storytelling showcase has grown from a cozy evening among friends to one of the city’s best-loved events.

Each Fish Tales performance features local storytellers telling true stories related to a specific theme. A volunteer storyteller-in-residence curates each event, collaborating with GWC staff. In recent years, Fish Tales has been produced in partnership with Gloucester Stage, with occasional events at other venues around town.
