Do you think you're out of stories? Are you listening to a story and it's reminding you of that one time that... Do you marvel when somebody gets on stage and adjusts their story to fit the night just perfectly? Join Allison Broeren, queen of hosting storytelling shows and coming up with stories on the fly, for a session on finding inspiration, and taking it a step further, turning it into a story!

This event is open to everyone via Zoom teleconferencing.  After registering, you'll receive an email message with the Zoom link.

Registration is free, although donations are appreciated to support SAM's virtual programming. The suggested donation is $10.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
