Theme: Back to School
(Note: your story does not have to fit into the theme of community but if you are looking for a creative challenge, feel free to try and match the theme!)
Step into an evening of stories with local storytellers at our brand-new Open Mic series, hosted in our cozy living room space for community, creativity, and connection. From 7:00 to 8:00 PM, we invite storytellers to take the mic for 5–7 minute slots. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or taking your first leap, this is a welcoming space to share your voice.
Sign-up opens at 6:40 PM, so come early and grab your spot. Each evening also features a 20-minute set by a featured storyteller, offering a deeper dive into the power of narrative to connect and inspire. The featured teller for October, and beyond, could be you! Contact Vianna for details. Wander through the teahouse, grab a cup, and let the stories inspire you!
Featured Storyteller for 9/5: Nancy Donoval
Cost: Free and open to all. Food and drink purchases are encouraged.
Location: Living Room/Fireplace, 1st floor
Host: Vianna Isbister at [email protected]
