Enjoy an evening of community-created entertainment in the form of storytelling and poetic open mic. All are welcome to tell a well-prepared story or perform their poetry. Each month, we’ll be inviting inspiration from a well-known song title.  Artists are invited to interpret the theme as broadly as they wish. Performers should bring their own work, inspired by this month’s theme: "To be FREE ….. is to be BOLD".

The Story & Verse Summer Series (June-August) will take place in Petoranello Gardens, Community Park North.

The evening will include 45 minutes of stories and 45 minutes of poetry with a brief intermission.

Performers arrive by: 6:45pm; Stories begin: 7pm

Performer Details

• Performers will be randomly selected from names in a ‘hat’.
• Storytellers should prepare a 5-minute story on the theme, true and about the teller.
• Storytellers should follow “The Moth” guidelines.
• Poets should perform their own poetry, up to 5 minutes in length, related to the theme.
• Performers will be selected at random, so it’s possible that not everyone will get to perform.
