Bellingham Story Hour – February theme is Spicy

Join Bellingham Story Hour for a night of true stories told live!

The act of sharing our most authentic selves with other people in a safe and encouraging environment creates connection and allows us to see ourselves in others.

Stories can be entertaining, heartwarming, educational, cringe inducing, shame releasing, vulnerable, weird, and all of the things in-between but they are always true, always your own experience, and always rewarding to tell and hear.

Put your name in the “hat”* for the chance to tell your own 5 to 10 minute story live on stage, or just enjoy listening to the true tales and authentic adventures of your friends and neighbors.

Read story guidelines and community agreements online!

2. All stories will be between five to ten minutes with a time moderator to help folx stay in their time limit
3. Please offer content warnings for any seriously triggering subjects presented in your story
4. Censoring will not be employed, but if a story being presented is clearly breaking Community Agreements or causing clear harm to the audience, the performer will be asked to leave the stage and future performances may depend on a prescreening from the host.
5. All ages will be in attendance, so plan accordingly.
6. Attending a workshop is not necessary to participate but it can make a huge difference in both your content and delivery!
