Who hasn’t been held captive by a powerful, funny, or frightening story?
7 STORIES is a night of local storytelling held at the Highline Heritage Museum once a month, with the goal to build community, empathy, and celebrate our diversity.
Each 7 STORIES night has a theme and storytellers sign up and are selected in advance. Real stories are spellbinding and raw.
Each 7 STORIES is also live-streamed on The B-Town Blog’s Facebook page (“Like” us here to get notification for when we’re live), as well as edited and shared widely afterwards.
They are not a theatrical performance, but true life stories from your friends, acquaintances, or someone you have never met.
These stories are told from the heart.
Each program is introduced by our host for the evening, with a short bio of each storyteller.
Here’s an edited version of the March 24 event, with the theme “Advice to My Younger Self”:
