Community Plate invites you to come to The Corner, a monthly evening of community storytelling held the second Thursday of each month at LA Arts in Lewiston. 

October's theme is "Let's Eat!" We're putting out the call for your favorite food stories: That unforgettable meal, the most delicious dish you ever tasted, the terrible food your parents made you eat, family food traditions handed down over generations, or new ones that you're creating. "Let's Eat!" is also a call to action, the thing we say at the start of a meal... so think about beginnings, stories about starting something new, getting people together for a purpose, a sweet new initiative, or one that went sour. The themes at The Corner are always just a starting point, meant to be interpreted broadly to spark your storytelling appetite, and get the creative juices flowing! 

Plus… new to The Corner… DESSERT POTLUCK! Bring a dessert to share!

Each evening of The Corner includes several featured storytellers, who volunteer in advance, and because everyone has a story to tell, an open mic portion, where there is the opportunity for anyone to get up and tell a story. If you would like to be one of our featured storytellers for "Let's Eat!" send us an email at community@communityplate.me

Stories should be five minutes (or less), first person, fundamentally factual, and free of handheld notes. For more information about how to tell a story at The Corner, visit: https://www.cometothecorner.com/tell

The Corner is a free community event. No tickets or reservations required.
