UPCOMING EVENTS

Come to the Corner!

May is our 2025-2026 Season Finale!

Join us at LA Arts on May 14, 2026, 7-9pm!

Theme: "Outsider"

 

We’ve all experienced times when we felt like we didn’t fit in: grade school, middle school, high school, college, and even in the workplace. At one time or another, we’ve been on the outside looking in. Think about a time that you welcomed someone in from the outside, provided, or received, unforgettable hospitality, or brought someone into your inner circle. The change from outsider to insider, or vice versa, can be a powerful, transformative experience in someone’s life. We’d love to hear your outsider story. You can also feel free to tell a story about just being outside!

As always, the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story idea in any direction. The Corner is one place where you never have to worry about being an outsider. Everyone is welcome. Come to The Corner: Come listen. Come tell. Come on inside.

Join us at L/A Arts in Lewiston the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7-9pm

Continuing in 2026, we've added a DESSERT POTLUCK!

Bring your stories and your sweets to share!

The Corner is now being organized by Community Plate. You can learn more about Community Plate at https://communityplate.me. If you would like to be one of our featured storytellers at The Corner send us an email at community[at]communityplate.me

-------
No matter what, you have a story, and the rest of us want to hear it.  But don't come to give a general speech about it.  Come tell us a story.  Think of a specific time in which you figured prominently.  Reflect on your story.  Have the courage to go back to the emotions, and, most importantly, your vivid memory of the events that caused the emotions. Then, craft your story (here are some tips on how), and come to The Corner ready to tell it. We want to hear it.
(Even if you aren't ready to tell a story, come be part of the audience. We need listeners, too! It's fun! But be aware that some stories may include adult themes and adult language. All potential audience members should use their discretion, especially those who care for young children.)
