Your first concert. That time you tried to learn to play the guitar. Your prized record collection. A drum circle by the lake. A well-curated mix-tape. An epic karaoke night. Your annoying neighbor who blasts EDM. The song that gets the dance floor bumping.
Music is all around us. It is part of our culture, a tool for expression, a beat that gets us moving, a passion that brings us together. How has music shaped your life? Do you consider yourself a musician? Or can you not hold a tune? What bands inspired you when you were young? How has music helped you reconnect in this COVID-time we live in?
At our monthly Storytimes, we explore a theme through the lens of our personal stories and stories from our community. This is a safe, welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to share, listen, and connect.
This hour-long event is divided into two parts.
SMALL GROUP CONVERSATIONS: Fun question prompts help us get to know each other and spark story ideas
STORYTIME! EXCELLENT!: 4 to 6 folks will have the opportunity to get up on stage and share their stories with everyone
This month's theme is: MUSIC TO MY EARS
Bring a buddy and let's make some beautiful (story) music together!
