The theme for our April event at the Black Box was Pets: Ciaran McAlinden tells us about Patch & the soldiers in Lurgan; Sarah Torrens is forgotten by Gar the Goose in the mid-west of the USA; Paul Doran is still confused at Lucky's fate. Paul is also your host. Tenx9 is a live storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes each to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme. It began in Belfast in 2011 in the Black Box, started by Pádraig Ó Tuama & Paul Doran.
