THE CORNER

​​

The Corner continues on November 14, 7-9pm!

Theme: "Oh, De-ah!"

  

November's theme is "Oh, De-ah!" November is hunting season in Maine, and we're on the hunt for your favorite stories that involve Maine wildlife: deer, bears, racoons, possums, owls, squirrels, chipmunks, you name it, we've all crossed paths with the denizens of the Maine woods at one time or another. "Oh, De-ah!" is what you might say about any animal encounter gone wrong, but also about any unwelcome surprise or unexpected happening. And of course, it's also how we Mainers address a loved one out of affection or exasperation. So think about the last time you might have exclaimed, "Oh, De-ah!", come to The Corner, and do tell!

​

As always, the themes at The Corner are just a starting point, meant to be interpreted broadly to spark your storytelling appetite and get the creative juices flowing! We always appreciate tellers exploring these themes in creative and unexpected directions.

​

Join us at L/A Arts in Lewiston the 2nd Thursday of each month from 7-9pm

New for 2024-2025, we've added a dessert potluck! Bring your stories and your sweets to share!

​

The Corner is now being organized by Community Plate. You can learn more about Community Plate at https://communityplate.me. If you would like to be one of our featured storytellers at The Corner send us an email at community[at]communityplate.me

​

No matter what, you have a story, and the rest of us want to hear it.  But don't come to give a general speech about it.  Come tell us a story.  Think of a specific time in which you figured prominently.  Reflect on your story.  Have the courage to go back to the emotions, and, most importantly, your vivid memory of the events that caused the emotions. Then, craft your story (here are some tips on how), and come to The Corner ready to tell it. We want to hear it.

​

(Even if you aren't ready to tell a story, come be part of the audience. We need listeners, too! It's fun! But be aware that some stories may include adult themes and adult language. All potential audience members should use their discretion, especially those who care for young children.)
