THE CORNER

​​

The Corner continues on January 9, 7-9pm!

Theme: "While You Were Gone..."

  

JANUARY THEME: “WHILE YOU WERE GONE...” Have you ever gone to the concession stand, and then your team hits a home run? Maybe you leave the living room right before someone tells a hilarious joke, or leave the dinner table for a minute and someone else eats the last piece of pie. Or you come home from vacation and discover, well, any number of horrors. Life isn’t a streaming movie – we can’t hit pause or rewind – in the real world things happen when we’re not there. Do you have a story about sleeping through an exciting moment, or missing out on a big opportunity? You might also tell a story about a near miss that – thank goodness – you weren’t there for. Or turn it around a little further, and maybe there was a time that you were the only person to see something that everyone else missed. 

 

As always the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, an opportunity to take a story in any direction. There’s no right or wrong–you can’t miss. So come to The Corner in January to tell or listen. You won’t want to miss out.

​

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.)
