NEW LOCATION FOR OPEN MIC
Our next Open Mic is June 9, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Open Mic Storytelling will take place at Ellwood’s Coffee at 10 S.Thompson Street (the old High’s Ice Cream Store) near the Corner of Cary and Thompson.
Always wanted to try storytelling? Have a new tale you want to try out in a low pressure, accepting environment? Maybe just want to listen (this time…)? Then Open Mic is for you. We look forward to seeing you there!
Letter From the President
Welcome to all storytelling fans and to those of you who found your way here by accident…though there are no accidents.
You have arrived here to learn about storytelling, the Richmond, Virginia-based Tell Tale Hearts, and our upcoming events.
Storytelling is an ancient art form, from drawings on caves to mammoth-hunt charades. Oral histories, holiday traditions, and written lore that would have been lost to the ages are passed from one generation to the other, impacting all exposed.
We are our stories. We internalize the stories we hear and we change, aware or not.
And we repeat the good stories, altered just a touch each time by our personal twists.
The Tell Tale Hearts united in 1999 to continue the art form.
We create. We educate. We tell.
Personal stories. Updated fables and fairy tales. Original fiction. Traditional myths and folklore.
You will never be bored.
So we invite you to attend one of our performances and participate in our open mic nights. (That’s how I got here)
And let us know what you think!
See you soon—
Coleen P. Kenny
