IF IT BLEEDS IT LEADS written and performed by Sean Allison
We are thrilled to welcome Sean Allison to Race Brook Lodge for a one-night-only performance of his award-winning solo play, If It Bleeds It Leads. Winner of Best Storyteller at the United Solo Festival, this gripping, darkly humorous, and deeply affecting piece brings the art of live storytelling to its most electrifying edge.
If you love The Moth or StoryCorps—those rare moments when a single voice holds a room captive—you won’t want to miss this. With nothing but his presence, a microphone, and a story that needs to be told, Allison takes us deep into his time as a young crime videographer in 1990s New York, chasing police calls, racing to crime scenes, and capturing violence for the morning news. What he saw—and what he learned—stayed with him for decades. Now, for the first time, he’s telling the full story.
Told with unflinching honesty and surprising humor, If It Bleeds It Leads is not just an experience its an engulfment. We are always excited about pushing the boundaries of story at Race Brook and this is a piece is directly in our wheel house. Join us for an unforgettable evening of an unfolding confession that will stay with you long after the lights go down.
