Stories / live music / wine & cheese / good fun

Featuring Stony Creek’s richness of storytelling talent + live music by The Appalachian Routes

What this is:

Our annual storytelling evening — inspired by The Moth — is a lovely community gathering, relaxed, festive, filled with laughter, sometimes tears. The storytellers are friends and neighbors with wonderful, funny, sad, surprising stories to tell. There’s marvelous live music performed by local musicians. And there’s wine and cheese and cookies. Flowers and candles. All are welcome. But we do ask that you call and register as seating is limited.

What are the guidelines for storytelling:

  • Your story is true, is yours to tell, and relates to this year’s theme — Lost & Found — however you interpret it.

  • The story is told, not read. So no reading from a script or any notes! You speak for up to 7 minutes.

  • Remember the story arc. A beginning, middle, and end. Something happens, something changes.

  • Our inspiration being The Moth — PLEASE check out their guidelines here: Storytelling Tips & Tricks.
