Long Story Short
Long Story Short offers a populist platform for anyone, and we mean anyone, to join us and tell a story, without notes, for five minutes or less on a different theme every month. No RSVP necessary, just check the schedule for the next event and show up ready to share!
Long Story Short is a great place to come and meet people, with an extraordinarily welcoming environment and supportive people genuinely curious to hear true stories from strangers in their community, whether funny, painful, practiced or off the cuff.
Currently held on the 2nd Sunday of every month at Space 4 Art at 7:00pm, please take a gander at this year’s themes below and start thinking about what you’re going to tell us. We want to hear it!
