About The EventYou Are Not Alone is an evening of true personal stories, shared reflection, and community connection. Each show centers around a theme, with storytellers sharing honest stories that invite the audience to listen, reflect, and connect through simple conversation prompts after each performance. This special night&rsquo;s theme is &ldquo;What Really Happens in the Dark?&rdquo; We&rsquo;ll explore the things that happen when no one is watching: fear, secrets, grief, mischief, desire, transformation, and the truths that sometimes only reveal themselves after the lights go down. Sometimes the dark is where we hide. Sometimes it is where we heal. Sometimes it is where we finally become honest. Join us for an evening of true stories about what we discover when we are brave enough to look. About The HostChris Williams earned a Master&rsquo;s Degree in Conflict Resolution from Portland State University in 2007 and has worked internationally and locally in the field of education for decades. You can catch him telling his own stories or playing on stage, improvising with Kickstand Comedy. Regardless of where he is or what he&#39;s doing, he&#39;s committed to engaging with the communities around him and living a full and purposeful life filled with laughter, creativity and surprises. He&#39;s spent over 15 years on the front lines helping to educate youth in the public school system. He quickly discovered &nbsp;that they had just as much to teach him.
