Lit Lounge... DADDY

Lit Lounge returns...

The first two installments of Lit Lounge were a smashing success - full houses, stories that were both moving and funny, and beautiful storytellers!

And we return with a third, very special Lit Lounge event...

LIT LOUNGE... DADDY

On Father's Day, Sunday June 21 - at 7pm.
(As the days have grown long, we wanted to give everyone a chance to enjoy the outside splendor.)

The brainchild of Islander Cara Briskman, Lit Lounge was inspired by similar events in other parts of the country and by programs like the Moth Radio Hour. Cara began working with Maria Glanz at Open Space to craft this new program for Vashon.

At our past Lit Lounge events, stories have ranged from the poignant to the outrageous. We invite tales of truth, but also fictional tales are also okay - you just need to let the audience know which you are spinning. Stories should be no longer than 5 minutes.

People who bring a story will drop their name in a hat at the door when they enter - and names will be drawn as the event unfolds. If your name is drawn, up you come to tell your story. Between 10 to 12 names will be drawn - and it's up to fate and the storytelling gods and goddesses to determine whose names those are.

This intimate evening of storytelling has an unusual setting, one rarely used at Open Space. More Lit Lounge installments will unfold every few months, with different themes for each one.

Stories are one of the most ancient ways of gathering, of making sense of life, of sharing oneself with others. Join us to share your own story, or simply to listen to others.

Lit Lounge DADDY takes place Sunday, June 21. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the show begins at 7pm.

All ages are welcome, but the event is not intended for children. Stories may include mature language or themes.

Lit Lounge is supported in part by a grant from 4Culture.
