The Florida Theatre is proud to present “Root,” the fourth show in the fourth season of Untold Stories, an oral storytelling event, at the historic Florida Theatre in downtown Jacksonville on Thursday, July 31, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. 

Untold Stories, now entering its 4th season, is a live storytelling event.  Each performance features local storytellers from all walks of life telling personal and transformative tales from their own life experiences.  Each performance is based on a theme, and they all connect back to the culture of Northeast Florida.

Untold Stories is not an open mic night, but a theatrical event curated by Artistic Director Barbara Colaciello.  Each story performance is carefully crafted, and with the addition of a musical guest, each evening is akin to a series of mini plays on a theme, taking you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, from laughter and tears to introspection and inspiration.  The live Untold Stories series is recorded for a podcast hosted by WJCT Public Media.

From artists and tech enthusiasts to entrepreneurs, educators, and medical professionals, each storyteller unveils memories intricately interwoven and shaped by our unique environment.  Each evening features a curated musical journey by a guest artist, creating a dynamic and immersive experience for our audience. The stage comes alive with personal and transformative tales from a diverse tapestry of voices, including natives and residents alike, all intimately connected to the culture of Northeast Florida.
