First Friday Storynight @ BLTC
State: Washington
Wintertime… and the livin’ is easy. At least on the first Friday of the month in Port Townsend, WA it is, as we engage in that ancient act of gathering together as a community listening to stories told by those who love to tell! Please join Mythsinger Foundation and host Brian Rohr for this monthly ritual of First Friday Storynight @ Better Living Through Coffee.
This month we will be featuring host Brian Rohr and International Storyteller and Seattle resident Kathy Currie. Currie will be bringing us her ever popular, and unseasonally delightful collection of stories called "Argggg, Pirates.”
This monthly event explores the art and ritual of the oral tradition: sharing the old myths, folk tales, and fairy tales along with more modern stories and personal sharings. Showcased will be local and visiting storytellers, musicians and weavers of magic with words. Each month, there are two to three featured tellers, and space for guests in the audience to share a story or two during the open mic sections.
