We are SO EXCITED to bring you Long Story Short 2021! We're kicking it off with "The New Guy." Got any true stories about the time you were new to a situation? (Sure you do!) Or when you were faced with someone else who was new? A mysterious stranger, maybe? Any interpretations of the theme are welcome. Just bring yourself 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.

- Please make sure that you are joining us from a quiet space. Turn off all television, radio, music, etc. Put barking dogs and babies in other rooms. The hosts will politely ask you to turn your bullshit down if it's too loud.
- We encourage the use of headphones. If you have a computer mic, even better. Neither are required.
- You are expected to exhibit in the chat the dignity and poise you would reserve for a nice grandmother. No negative comments, side conversations, etc.
