THE CORNER

​​

Come to the Corner!

The Corner is on summer break and will return on October 9, 2025, 7-9pm!

Theme: "Back to School"

  

Pencils are sharpened, yellow buses are back on the streets, and parents are breathing a sigh of relief: school is back in session! Whether you’re starting a new grade, returning to finish a degree, or relishing the quiet of an empty house, heading back to school is a time of excitement and change. Maybe you’ve reinvented yourself in a new school and setting? Maybe you’ve been stuck with terrible roommates and found yourself desperately homesick? Maybe you’ve felt proud–and a little heartsick–as you unpack the car and settle your kid into their dorm. We’d also love to hear stories about times when you’ve tried to learn something new – how did it go? School and life educates us in so many ways, and we want to hear what you’ve learned! 

​

As always, the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story idea in any direction. We’re all learning as we go, so have fun with it! Just come to The Corner: Come listen. Come tell.

​

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

New for 2025, 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.)
