Theater doesn’t happen like this very often. It’s regular Joe telling stories — true stories, stories told without a script or notes or visual aids. The intimacy of “The Story Project” is often very moving, funny and insightful. This month locals Lisa Green, Sarah Smith, Jerry Mosier and Donna Vessey appear. Arrive early to get a good seat for the 7 p.m. Friday show at Marmalade at Smokebrush, 219 W. Colorado Ave., Suite 210, $5 donation, 444-1012, smokebrush.org.
