Prescott’s First Storytelling Night!
Join us for our very first storytelling event — an evening for those who have a story to share and for those who simply love to listen.
This season’s theme is inspired by spring and new beginnings — stories of growth, transformation, fresh starts, exploration, growing pains, or stepping out of your shell. However you interpret it, we want to hear your true story.
Stories must be real, told live on a small stage with a microphone, and are strictly limited to 7 minutes per person. They can be funny, heartfelt, surprising, or deeply moving.
Join us to share your voice, meet new people, and connect with our community.
Come tell. Come listen. Come belong.
Registration is required for all guests, including storytellers and the audience.
After you have registered as a Storyteller, join us for two FREE optional workshops to help you prepare.

Owen worked in libraries for 40 years, the last 25 of which she was lucky enough to serve as Director of the Groton Public Library. She has no professional training but as a native Mississippian, she learned to tell stories listening to her mother, who never let the truth get in the way of a good story. She co-led a storytelling class at GPL, an assisted living facility and at First Parish Church in Groton. She looks forward to hearing and helping folks craft their stories.
