IT'S JUUUUNE! Story Swap Sunday is back! Next Sunday June 14th the theme is CELEBRATE. Bring a 5-10 minute story that fits the theme to Sam's place at 7pm. Get a taste of live storytelling on The Small Stage in a welcoming and inclusive environment! Be creative with the theme, it is vague by design. You can tell a story about that one BIG PARTY you threw in high school or a moment in your life that deserves to be celebrated today. This month, we CELEBRATE who we are, who we love, how we live, and the way our stories of the past shape the future! By sharing our stories we participate in writing our history. The importance of diverse voices telling our stories is more important than ever!

Theme is MUM! We didn’t think it through when we picked seconds Sundays- we just liked the alliteration 😂 We now have a tradition of annual Mother’s Day Story Swaps. Not mad about it! Bring your mom! Or don’t bring your mom and tell us all about why. Parental relationships are complicated- bring a 5-10 min story fitting the theme MUM (also a flower and secret) to Sam’s Place at 8pm on May 10th!
