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

DECEMBER THEME: “SHORT DAYS, LONG NIGHTS.” As we head into December's winter solstice, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. It's a time of year when our relationship to time and light changes. A little bit of daylight becomes all the more precious and long dark evenings are opportunities to hunker down and turn inward towards introspection. Think about times when light or darkness had an impact on your life, either literally or emotionally. Do you have a story about someone who was a ray of light in your life, even briefly, or a long eventful pilgrimage you made to the point of totality. You might also tell a story about an experience that was over too soon, or one that stretched on too long: The date that seemingly would never end, or a night on the town that you wished would last forever. 

As always, themes at the Corner are just a starting point. A guiding light, if you will, you should always feel free to explore story ideas that might be just off the path or hiding in the shadows.

New to The Corner this year: Bring a dessert to share! In addition to pizza from DaVinci’s, we’ve added a DESSERT POTLUCK! Bring something sweet to share with your fellow storytellers and story listeners.

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.
