(un)told: An Evening of Personal Stories
Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre, 290 Lisgar Street, Ottawa, ON, CA(un)Told is a monthly gathering built around a simple idea: everyone has a story worth telling, and storytelling is something you learn by being in the room.
This is a cross-cultural, come-as-you-are night of real, personal stories told live in ten minutes or less. No notes, no sets, no props, and no pressure to perform. Some people share. Many listen. All of it counts.
#### What to expect
Listening is welcome: Many people just come to listen. There’s no expectation to share.
Sharing is arranged in advance: If you’d like to tell a story, contact Brad ahead of time so we can make sure it’s a good fit.
Everyday stories are valued: Your story doesn’t need to be polished. Ordinary moments often resonate the most.
Support is available: Story coaches are usually present. Coaching is optional and informal.
Learning happens by listening: Even if you never tell a story, you’ll learn how storytelling works.#### Thinking about telling a story?

If you’re considering sharing a story and want to talk it through first, reach out to Brad. This isn’t an audition or a commitment - just a way to make sure (un)Told is the right fit for you and your story.
To help Brad understand what you’re thinking, include:- What your story is about (a sentence or two)
- Why this story matters to you right now
- Whether you’d like any support (optio
Email Brad at: untold@ottawastorytellers.ca
Note: (un)Told focuses on personal stories, not speeches, debates, or advocacy.
