Saginaw Storytelling Group

The Saginaw Storytelling Group will consist of 4-8 minute true stories that happened to the speaker. Everyone is eligible to tell a story at the events. All skill levels are welcome.

The stories should be meaningful to the teller. That doesn't mean that that have have to be ultra-serious and dramatic. They could be light and comedic and everything in between. They could be about the time your cat locked you in your bathroom and your phone died... or they could be about the time a close friend or family member died.

Just keep them CLEAN. No bad language (we're next to the children's section of the library) and stay away from religion, politics, sex, bathroom issues, etc. I have no problem with those topics in my daily life, but this will not be the place for them. I'm looking for personal stories that unite us; not stories that divide us.

And please, no songs, poems, stand-up, etc. There are other places for those things (you may have to drive a bit though). This is just for storytelling.

That covers the basics. I'm aiming for 8 storytellers, including myself, at each event. So the first 7 people who contact me (you can message me to reserve a spot or take your chances before the event) will get to tell their story... and of course you can attend and simply be a supportive and appreciate listener. We need them as much as the tellers to make this a positive event.

Thanks for reading and hope to see you at there.

Sincerely,

Cavan O'Grady
