Story Swap Genre Storytelling Series
SAC Members from various Storytelling groups around California will be telling stories at these events, held once each month on the third Wednesday of the month at 7PM Pacific Time. Each event will highlight stories from different genres, such as Personal, Folktale, Historical, Tall Tale, Myth, Fable, Fantasy, and more. Individual stories will be approximately 10 minutes long.
The first event of this Series, a brainchild of storyteller Ed "Eddie Spaghetti" Lewis, was held on August 19, 2020 and featured Personal Stories. Below is the upcoming schedule, as well as the deadline for Teller Nominations from their Swap Group to participate.
As of August 2021 this is now a SAC MEMBER BENEFIT EXCLUSIVE! That means that SAC members are free. If YOU want to attend for free, please join SAC first!
All others will be asked to purchase a ticket for at least $5 in order to get the log-in details. Consider becoming a member of SAC, as if you attend six of these in the upcoming series, you've covered your membership fee! And there are many other benefits, as well. See our "JOIN SAC" page for details.
