Listen Here.
Members of the New Haven Theater Company perform great short fiction followed by a half-hour “talk back” with the performers and editors.
Poetry Institute
The Poetry Institute Poetry Series celebrates an eclectic mix of poetic voices. Free. Refreshments. (And participants are invited to bring something to share.) Open mic. Outstanding featured readers. In a casual setting. Open to all members of the public (and even others).
Storysharing
The storysharing group gives its members an opportunity to share stories in a very informal atmosphere. The stories may be of any kind – traditional folk tales, myths, stories of personal experience, etc. The group is open to all levels of experience, so people with no formal experience of storytelling can try things out in a supportive atmosphere. No one is required to tell; if you simply want to listen for a while that’s fine. If you feel so moved come to the first session with a story ready.
