FOUND Magazine Celebrates 25th Anniversary Live in Woods Hole

WOODS HOLE, MA –– This May, in person and amidst other humans, we explore the question: What can you learn about a person from the things they accidentally leave behind?

For 25 years, FOUND Magazine has been collecting the scraps of everyday life people drop into the world: crumpled love letters, grocery lists, angry notes taped to apartment doors, strange doodles, lost photos, heartfelt apologies, baffling reminders. Artifacts of ordinary life.

Transom Story Lab invites you to a live show in celebration of FOUND Magazine's 25th anniversary, where FOUND creator Davy Rothbart will share some of the funniest, strangest, and most unexpectedly moving discoveries from the archive, while his brother, musician Peter Rothbart, performs songs inspired by the finds.

“Laughing with others in joy and appreciation for the quirkiness of our lives and the things we say, do, and discard is good for the soul,” said Sophie Crane, Transom Story Lab’s Executive Director. “Being in a room with others while doing that is good for the heart.”

Come enjoy this storytelling show, group eavesdropping session, and celebration of the weird poetry and chaos of everyday life on Wednesday, May 6, from 7–9 PM at the Woods Hole Community Hall, 68 Water Street. The event is open to the public. Advance tickets are $22 for the general public and $10 for students, and if available on the night itself, $25.
