Welcome to Show & Tales®
Where Every Thing Has a Story© & Everyone is welcome.
In the workplace, at a conference, on campus, or at a family reunion everyone has a story. Personal historian and visual artist, Martie McNabb wants to help you tell it.
Show&Tale© uses objects to focus the narrative (much like Show & Tell events in elementary school). Martie offers a variety of themes. Or create your own!

Our Mission
- To create a warm and welcoming environment for people to share the stories of their photos & things. Sharing out loud with others bearing witness keeps memories alive, passes along a piece of personal history, impacts someone else’s life, and enables participants to reconnect to their own forgotten stories and history.
- To build real connections and community to help combat and counteract the growing prevalence of loneliness and isolation that many people feel. Social media has its place but it can give us a false sense of meaningful connections. and increasingly people are craving real human contact.

TESTIMONIALS
“Show & Tale helped me bring additional revenue into my small bistro during off-hours when business is generally slow. The event also was great marketing for my business – exposing it to people who didn’t know about it before. Some attendees even became customers. Two networking events were held at the restaurant as a result of my welcoming Show & Tale to host events at my establishment. Our regular customers began looking forward to the monthly events as a way to connect and get to know each other. Show & Tale is a win-win for everyone!”
– Mary Reilly, Former Managing Partner, PicNic Market & Café
“As one of the curriculum committee co-chairs at Osher Life Long Learning Institute (OLLI), I realized that Show & Tale is a gift looking me right in the face! It’s a powerful platform for creating connections between students and staff, between young and older people and between people of different cultures throughout the melting pot that is UMass Boston. I can’t think of a better audience to engage through Show & Tale events.”
– Mary-Anne Morrison co-chair, curriculum committee,
