The World Storytelling Day event will be hosted on today, March 20th from 4pm-7pm at Greenwood Pencil Box, 8414 Greenwood Ave N. Seattle, WA 98103, for adults aged 21+. Drinks have generously been provided by one of Seattle’s local breweries at no charge. All drinks must remain in the space, and cannot be taken outdoors.

Each participant will be given a maximum of 5 minutes to perform their piece, so as to give time to everyone who wishes to share. We will provide a stage, a microphone, and a boombox for you to utilize and tell us your tale. 

Every year, a theme is chosen by the international community to give inspiration to the storytellers; this year’s theme being “lost and found.” This is only a guideline, and we encourage you to share whatever brings the best out of you, but we only ask that you keep in mind that this is a day of fun and merrymaking; a day to celebrate our differences as well as our value to one another.

We only ask that you keep in mind that this is a day of fun and merrymaking; a day to celebrate our differences as well as our value to one another. 

Each participant will be given a maximum of 5 minutes to perform their piece, so as to give time to everyone who wishes to share. We will provide a stage, a microphone, and a boombox for you to utilize and tell us your tale.
