Prompt coming soon.
Whatever your story, practically speaking, we’ll be waiting at Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday, October 14 at 7p, where--just like magic--you can always find us on the second Tuesdays of the month.
Come down early to join your fellow Carapeeps for a drink and some nosh, courtesy of the best wait staff in town. Reminder: there’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story listeners and storytellers alike.
STORYTELLING TIPS:
Plan your last line. A lot of times in personal storytelling, we think about how we want to start a story, but we don’t always think about how we’re gonna wrap it up. Sure, a great opening line—a real zinger—is super helpful. Still, thinking in advance about how you’re going to land your story is just as important. You wouldn’t get in the car without thinking about the destination. That last line is often where you might leave the audience with an embedded thought or a “what was learned.”
FREE STORY COACHING:
We tend to be at Manuel’s by 6p on the night of the show. If you’d like a little coaching as you prepare to get up on that mic, please feel free to arrive in the hour before to talk through your story’s points for some potential ideas or help with shaping it.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
We always need volunteers to make our events run like clockwork. Roles include:
*greet people at the door & encourage sign-ups
*keep up the tradition with timing stories
*be our personal paparazzi! (take photos)
Please write back to us here if you’d like to volunteer!
