The Stories of O – Potluck and Stories
We are canceling the Stories of O this month (April 2024) because Yates Illuminates is having its grand opening celebration this coming Sunday!
Below is the standard information for the SOO evenings. We hope to see you there in May!
You’re invited to an evening of (increasingly more rare) in-person community, shared food, and great stories.
This event is a restart of a lovely, monthly gathering that was held for several years in a row, back before there was Covid and Trump descended the golden escalator.
It’s held on the last Sunday evening of each month at Yates Illuminates.
We ask that you please rsvp if you plan to attend (see below).
The night is a laid back evening where everyone brings a dish, or something to drink, or a story, or all three, or none of the above.
We usually mingle and eat for the first thirty (or so) minutes and then share stories.
*An important point – there is no obligation to share a story. Feel free to come and enjoy the night, the food, and the community without telling a story.
If you do bring a story, here are some guiding thoughts:
- The stories should be true, rather than fiction
- Have some strong connection to your life
- They should be around five minutes long
- And told from memory (without notes)
The stories often have adult content, so if you don’t want your children to hear adult content then it would be good to leave them at home.
This month’s theme is: stories of dearly remembered kindness.
We would love to see you there. It’s always a good way to end the month.
Finally, there is no obligation to come to them every month. Please just come if you’re free, and no worries if you can’t make it – we’ll have one on the last Sunday of each month.
The evening starts at 6pm and ends by 9pm.
Yates is located at 32nd and Davenport.
*Please RSVP to commons@gptcplays.com to attend.
We look forward to seeing you there!
