About us
7 Stories is an evening of storytelling that takes place the 4th Friday of every month at Highline Heritage Museum. It’s a night of community building: a time and place where people mingle and listen to real stories. In an era of detachment, sharing stories in person unifies and connects us. People participate by telling and/or listening. It’s all good.
How it works: 7 Stories features seven-minute, personal stories from seven people. Stories are told, not read. Just as you tell the story to a friend…you share your story at 7 Stories. It is an event for sharing true, personal stories on stage without notes. Each month there is a different theme and the stories should in some way reflect that theme. Broad, creative interpretation of the month’s theme is fine. Past themes have included: Road Trip; Karma; On the Job; In the Dark; Lost and Found; White Lies; If Only I'd Listened…etc.
7 Stories is held at Highline Heritage Museum in Burien, WA from 7 - 8:30 pm on the fourth Friday of every month. There is no admission charge but donations to the museum are accepted.

7 Stories: Foolishness/No Foolin' (suggested theme)
Highline Heritage Museum, 819 SW 152nd St, Burien, WA, USDo you have a story to tell? What stories do you have of being lucky, out of luck, or going from one to the other? Whatever it is, we'd love to hear it. And to quote our friend and mentor, Paul Currington: “Remember that a story isn't just a series of things that happened. There needs to be something at stake that you overcome by the end.”
