Join us for a community evening at Stories Aloud/Allowed, where the ancient art of storytelling takes center stage in a celebration of Maine’s rich cultural tapestry. Storytellers from diverse communities will share tales drawn from myth, folklore, original works, and personal experiences, offering insights into the histories, values, and beliefs of the cultures that shaped them. From the Celtic roots of Ireland to the voices of new Mainers, this event will showcase the power of storytelling to unite, enlighten, and spark dialogue.
The evening will be open to storytellers from across Maine’s vibrant communities, offering a rich diversity of voices and perspectives. The program will begin with an open mic, inviting attendees to sign up and share a 5-10 minute story. After a brief break, we will have three featured storytellers share their tales. After the performance we invite you to join us for a social hour, where all can gather to meet the performers, share, and reflect in an informal setting. Featured Storytellers to be announced here shortly!
Join us for Stories Aloud/Allowed and become part of an evening that can inspire us all, and help build bridges between fellow Mainers!
