Description

Storytime @ Manny's: Share Your Costume Story Do you have a story to share? Do you want to hear the stories of your neighbors and friends? At our monthly Storytimes, we explore a theme through the lens of our stories and the stories from our community. This is a welcoming space where everyone is encouraged to share, listen, and connect. This hour-long event is divided into two parts. Small group conversations using fun question prompts to spark story ideas. 4 to 6 folks will have the opportunity to get up on stage and share their stories with everyone This month’s theme is: COSTUMES Halloween. Uniforms. Performing. Cosplay. Drag. Pre-purchased or hand made. Masks of all kinds. Costumes come in many forms - from the intentionally make-believe to the (literal and figurative) masks we put on to protect ourselves. Costumes allow us to try on a new persona, or maybe feel more confident in our own skin. Sometimes, we’re required to wear them. Sometimes we don’t even know we have one on. Costumes take us a step outside of our normal life, and in the process may help us know ourselves better. Do you have a story of a time when a costume played a role in your life? Come share your experiences in a safe and interactive community setting. Costumes not required (but encouraged!) Storytime @ Manny’s is hosted by Liz Morrison. Liz believes our stories have the power to connect and inspire us. She brings this to life as a storytelling consultant, workshop facilitator, and co-founder of the Connection Feast community.
