This type of story is told at shows like The Moth. It is a true narrative about something that happened to YOU. It is not a rant, or comedy stand-up routine.Folk or Fairy Tale: A fictional story, originating from oral tradition and passed down through generations, often without a single author, featuring universal themes like overcoming challenges, teaching moral lessons, and reflecting cultural values.Braided Story: a storytelling technique that weaves together two or more separate storylines, perspectives, or topics to create a single, cohesive work.Fractured Fairy Tale. A fractured fairy tale is a traditional one that has been altered, often by changing the point of view, character roles, setting, or plot to create a humorous or modern retelling. Key characteristics include an altered point of view, a modified plot, a changed setting, and a humorous tone.Tall Tale: A story with unbelievable elements presented as if it were true and factual, often involving a larger-than-life hero or heroine with superhuman abilities. These humorous and exaggerated stories have roots in the folklore of the American frontier and are a uniquely American genre. Modern tall tales often start out as a personal narrative and then add outrageous elements. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/novato/the-story-shuffle-saturday-september12th-7-00-pm/100001992299164432 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Entertainment, comedy, literary-art, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Courtyard by Marriott Novato Marin/Sonoma - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 17.85, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Novato - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Courtyard by Marriott Novato Marin/Sonoma - **lat**: 38.0619319 - **long**: -122.5314685 - **full address**: Courtyard by Marriott Novato Marin/Sonoma, 1400 Hamilton Parkway, Novato, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Story Shuffle Saturday, September12th, 7:00 PM - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/156c507e3304b33b3cb0a4e0a0700d11efb4eb5eb594e37cdcfe823d4b55fcf5-rimg-w1080-h540-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1786257212 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Story Shuffle Saturday, September12th, 7:00 PM being held? - **A:** The Story Shuffle Saturday, September12th, 7:00 PM takes place on Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sat, 12 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Courtyard by Marriott Novato Marin/Sonoma, 1400 Hamilton Parkway, Novato, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Story Shuffle Saturday, September12th, 7:00 PM? - **A:** The Story Shuffle Saturday, September12th, 7:00 PM is organized by Six Feet Apart Productions. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
