THE CORNER

​​

The Corner continues on December 12, 7-9pm!

Theme: "Short Days, Long Nights"

  

DECEMBER THEME: “SHORT DAYS, LONG NIGHTS.” As we head into December's winter solstice, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. It's a time of year when our relationship to time and light changes. A little bit of daylight becomes all the more precious and long dark evenings are opportunities to hunker down and turn inward towards introspection. Think about times when light or darkness had an impact on your life, either literally or emotionally. Do you have a story about someone who was a ray of light in your life, even briefly, or a long eventful pilgrimage you made to the point of totality. You might also tell a story about an experience that was over too soon, or one that stretched on too long: The date that seemingly would never end, or a night on the town that you wished would last forever. 

​

As always, themes at the Corner are just a starting point. A guiding light, if you will, you should always feel free to explore story ideas that might be just off the path or hiding in the shadows.

​

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

​

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.)
