What: The Story Exchange: An evening of sharing true stories & making connections
When: Thursday, November 19, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
Where: The Fold (map)
Tickets: Sliding scale tickets, information below
Description:
Forgot how to interact with people in the wild? Accidentally called your boss 'mom' in front of your coworkers and now you don’t know what to do with that? Considered making your dog your emergency contact? Deeply terrified that you’ll never experience true human connection because your primary social outlet is arguing with strangers in subreddits? Well then, talking to actual humans at the Story Exchange may be right for you.
Mission StageWorks invites you to a guided storytelling experience where you can swap true stories and build actual, real-time connections. We provide a supportive space and the story prompts, so there's zero pressure to perform (or be a stand-up comedian). Just an evening of meeting people, discovering you aren't the only one with deeply specific hang ups, and finding community through meaningful conversations.
Meet people – tell stories – find your community – eat snacks
