Storytelling Open Mic

Ottawa StoryTellers (OST) is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to celebrating the power and beauty of the spoken word. Through performances, workshops, and community events, we bring stories to life—ranging from deeply personal narratives to timeless traditional tales. Whether you're listening, learning, or stepping up to the mic yourself, OST offers a welcoming space for voices of all backgrounds and ages. Based in Canada’s capital, we’ve been building community through storytelling since 1981.Learn more at ottawastorytellers.ca.
