Blue Ridge WYRD at Rapunzel’s

Our third Blue Ridge WYRD (weaving yarns, realizing destinies) oral storytelling open mic. All area folk with lore are welcome to come sign up, and tell a story from the heart/mind/brain. Sharing our stories – especially those stories not well known by the mainstream – is more important than ever. Your guidelines for sharing? Keep it off the cuff (working from memory), and keep it no longer than 8 minutes or so. It can be a story you’ve created, one you’ve experienced, or even a favorite piece of folklore. Your guidelines for enjoying? Just show up and get tangled in the yarns that shall be shared. Raven Mack will be your host, and will do his best to make all speakers – whether grizzled veteran stage performers, or someone telling a story in public for the first time ever – feel welcome and safe in sharing their lore.
