UPCOMING EVENTS

​​

The Corner continues on February 13, 7-9pm!

Theme: "Unexpected Love"

 

FEBRUARY THEME: “UNEXPECTED LOVE” Cupid's arrow doth love to strike from directions unanticipated. It's the nature of love to catch us unawares. It's not just romantic love that can come without warning, or wrapped in surprise. Have you ever been listening to the radio and swooned over the lyrics of a random song? Has your dad ever vetoed a pet, or been determined to hate it, only to find himself in love and attached to it? Do you have a story about a place, person, or object you fell in love with--or played a surprising part in your own love story? A bus, perhaps? As the bard (or was it The Troggs?) says, love is all around us. And when we're not looking, when we've sworn it off, when we're in the most random situation, love finds a way in. So come to The Corner in February, you never know what you might find.

 

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 –- just like Cupid, you can’t miss. So come to The Corner in February to tell or listen. You won’t want to miss out.

​

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.)
