Campfire Tales: Portland’s Community-Driven Story Stage

“I started Campfire Tales because I have debilitating stage fright and I needed a stage anyway. Stubborn, I know.”

Portland has plenty of polished stages, but Campfire Tales is a different kind of community. We host everyone from vetted storytellers delivering masterclasses to trembling first-timers sharing for the very first time.
At our campfire, there is no “right” way to tell a story. Notes are allowed, nerves are welcome, and the stage lights up with incredible stories every single time.

### How it works:

• The Stories: Personal, "mostly true," and 5–7 minutes long.
• The Tellers: All featured storytellers must register in advance
  [STORYTELER REGISTRATION].
• The Hat: Not ready to commit? Audience members are invited to drop their names in the hat for a spontaneous slot (optional!).
• The Feedback: We provide materials for the audience to write notes for the storytellers. We want every person who braves the mic to leave feeling seen and encouraged.

Whether you’re putting your name in the hat or just coming to listen, we can't wait to meet you!
