Let's see what the May Gray brings our way this year! Does the weather make you want to get outside even more? Huddle up in your home? Do you revel in unleashing your golden shower upon Mother Nature's blossomed bosom? Well then bring your unscripted (but you're welcome to prepare) tales to our Zoom room for this month's LSS!
Remember, any interpretations of the theme are welcome! Just bring your lovely self and a friendly, open mind. (And be prepared to chat with our affable host, David Latham!)
About Long Story Short:
LSS is an unscripted (but you're welcome to prepare if you like) storytelling show, wherein anyone can throw their name into our virtual hat and be called upon randomly to tell their story. The only criteria are that your story be:
-Told without notes or a script
-Told in 5 minutes or fewer
-Be on-theme (even loosely)
Long Story Short has become our virtual campfire, where we pass the talking stick around and share our stories. Be they hilarious, heartfelt, bizarre, or all of the above, LSS stories get you connected with your storytelling community. Join in and make new friends! It's a no-pressure situation, where you are welcome to sign up at any point in the event, and even kick back and just listen. We have fun, we connect, and we can't wait to see you in the zoom room.
All you need is a free Zoom account, a computer, and a web camera to participate.
