Storytelling is not just entertainment: it’s a fundamental part of being human. Ales & Tales is a live storytelling open mic, akin to The Moth, but without the competitive aspect. Tellers take the mic to share personal stories, true-as-remembered, in six minutes or less with no notes. There are few rules: beyond the time limit and truth requirement, stories must follow the night’s theme, which is typically a one- to two-word prompt with LOTS of flexibility (like Dirt, Winter, Sunshine or Rigid).

Stories don’t have to be funny, but they can be. Stories should have an arc – a beginning, middle, and end – and perhaps a lesson snuck in there, too. Food and drinks, including alcohol, will be available for purchase; and the crowd is always friendly. Come relate to strangers, and turn them into pals!

Theme: Misunderstanding

Little misunderstandings can lead to big changes. Maybe you misunderstood directions, and your misdirection brought you face to face with a stranger who changed your life. Maybe you misunderstood another’s intentions, and your relationship did a 180 because of it. We don’t all know everything, and sometimes, that can lead to some pretty holy-crap moments. Let’s hear about yours!
