Susanne Sheridan, photographer, of Westport CT, took these amazing photos of the most polished and fun storytelling we’ve had yet. If you were there – reminisce. If you weren’t don’t miss the next one on April 26
Cash, bucks, bread, dinero, coins, loot, even high finance – no matter what you call it, the abundance or absence of money can cause conflict and change. We’ve been there, and we know you have too. Bring us your stories of striking it rich, barely getting by, being broke, owed or owing –and our great team of coaches (Bill Bosch, storytelling master, aided and abetted by Ina Chadwick, and Gabi Coatsworth) will help you hone your tale so it’s ready to perform in April.
Our March storytellers weren’t sure they were ready for prime time, but we helped them get there, and the March 22 event was a smashing success, thanks to them. Be part of this exciting new entertainment form by telling a story or coming to cheer on the people who do! Just a small handful of banknotes will get you a ticket, free scrumptious food, and a great evening. Be there!
What I Did for Love, to be precise. Our next storytelling evening is coming up on February 15, and we have some amazing stories for you to hear. From the romantic story of a love lost and found, to a story of determination in the face of almost overwhelming odds, via a tale about a wasted possum, there’s variety enough for everyone. You may laugh till you cry – or shed a few sympathetic tears – either way, we’ll have Kleenex on hand.
This should be a great date night – so keep the Valentine’s mood going, and come to the Westport Arts Center on February 15. Tickets available at www.westportartscenter.org or at the door. $20 or $15 if WAC members, gets you light but scrumptious fare, a cash bar, and an evening’s entertainment that’ll have you cheering in your seat, which we recommend you reserve ahead of time.
See you there!
Whether you were in a royal palace, a tent on a scouting trip or playing under your bed as a kid, shelter is a universal need. Maybe you were settling into your first dorm room, finding, renting, or even losing shelter, we want to hear your story. Looking for shelter – from the storm,maybe, on this freezing January day – finding no room at the inn, looking for somewhere to hide? Tell us about it.
Building your home? Building someone else a home? Visiting the best – or the worst – home in the world? We want to know. We’ll give you shelter on stage at the Westport Arts Center on March 22. Check our Facebook page for regular updates.

We know you’ve done some amazing things in the name of love, and we want to hear about them. Funny, sad, dangerous or just plain silly – email us with your story and we’ll take it from there.
