It has been a tumultuous year and our staff are craving opportunities to authentically connect with our audiences, partners, and friends - new and old. Accordingly, we've decided to host a community storytelling evening centered loosely around trees!
Join us for an evening of shared personal stories. The entertainment will be community-generated, meaning the stories will come from the audience; interested storytellers will add their name to the hat and we'll pull at random to generate the order of stories. Come to listen or come to share (or both!).
All stories should be personal, true, told and not read, less than 7 minutes in length, and on (any interpretation of) the theme of the night: Branching Out.
This event is free but registration is required and we will be checking names at the door.
Other details:
- While we love family-friendly gatherings, this event entails quietly sitting and listening and the potential for adult themes; please consider leaving young children at home.
- BYO beverages and snacks, your favorite floor pillows, and cozy slippers (all optional).
- We are capping the audience at 60.
- The event will be 6:00-8:00pm (2 hours).
- Questions? Contact Elise.Schadler@vermont.gov or 802.522.6015
