Several Alaskans will tell their unique stories live on stage during "Dark Winter Nights," a free event Saturday, April 19, at 8 p.m. in the Pioneer Park Civic Center Theater.

The band Thought Trade will play between stories. The show is appropriate for adults and high school students.

The event is organized by Rob Prince, University of Alaska Fairbanks assistant professor of journalism. It will be recorded and may be developed into a local public or community radio show modeled on "This American Life."
