NDP is happy to support a New Community Storytelling Series, “So anyway...” which is a new program of Write On, Door County. In its inaugural event, Owen Alabado (president and founder) will be one of the storytellers.
Everyone has a great story to tell. Some are funny. Some are poignant. Some are unexpected. And some are the stories we tell again and again because, somehow, they capture something essential about who we are.
On Wednesday, October 21, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m., be part of the launch of “So anyway...”, a new free community storytelling series with the inaugural event at The Tambourine Lounge, 59 N. 2nd Ave. in Sturgeon Bay. “So Anyway…” is a new program of Write On, Door County. The first “So Anyway...” event is free and open to everyone. No registration is required—just show up and enjoy an evening of stories. All donations benefit the Steel Bridge Creative Foundation.
“So Anyway...” celebrates the stories that life has always been built on—the stories told around the dinner table, over fish boils, on front porches, at family gatherings, and across coffee shop tables. These are the stories that make us laugh, make us think, surprise us, and remind us that we are more alike than we realize. The series will be offered quarterly at venues throughout Door County, with a brand-new lineup of storytellers at each event. There are no required themes or topics. The only requirement is that every story begin with the words “So anyway...”
