The Corner The Corner is a monthly storytelling event in Lewiston/Auburn, Maine. Come listen. Come tell. Every good story is much the same. And so it will be at this corner.

One literal definition of a corner is that it's an intersection where two streets come together. If you're going in one direction, a corner is a place where you can turn to go a different way. It's also a place where you might unexpectedly encounter someone coming from a different direction. It goes one way for a while and then, often surprisingly, it turns a corner to go a different way. Or it reaches a point--a corner--where it brings the reader or listener or protagonist into contact with someone unexpectedly. In many neighborhoods, corners are also places where people gather. As they gather, one thing they do is tell stories. The Corner is a monthly night of storytelling, most of it via an open mic. In much the same style as The Moth's StorySLAM, we feature stories in our style of SLAM (that's Stories in Lewiston/Auburn, Maine, of course). They'll all short, true, first-person stories. Join us at Guthries Cafe at 115 Middle Street, in Lewiston, the second Thursday of the month from September to May.

The Corner in March: Lucky Charms
This month’s theme is “Lucky Charms.” May the luck of the Irish be with you! This March at The Corner we’re celebrating what it means to be lucky. Do you have a story about a time of extraordinary good fortune? Was there an object that contributed to your luck: A four leaf clover, a rabbit’s foot, a lucky penny, or maybe something less traditional like a t-shirt, a rock, or a breakfast cereal? Of course, there’s not always a rainbow or pot of gold at the end of every story, so feel free to tell about a time when lady luck left you high and dry.

As always, the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story idea in any direction. There’s no luckier place to try your hand at storytelling than The Corner. Have fun with it! Just come to The Corner: Come listen. Come tell. You might get lucky!
