Season 1: "Love and Monsters" TRUTH BE TOLD is an ongoing series of true story nights — each centered on a theme — told by members of the Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York City as well the larger community that EST sustains. Held several times a year, TBT features 6-8 storytellers who each share a 10-minute absolutely true story that's bold, vulnerable, full of insight, and (almost always!) raucous humor. Season 1 features 14 stories over 7 weeks, all from our first two evenings: "First Love/First Lust" (released Mondays) and "Scary Monsters!" (released Thursdays). TRUTH BE TOLD was created by Susan Kim and David Zellnik. Each episode was produced and scored by Eric Svejcar. Logo design by Joseph Zellnik.
