REMINDER: 7 Stories returning to Highline Heritage Museum this Friday, June 28

REMINDER: The local storytelling event 7 Stories will return to the Highline Heritage Museum in Burien this Friday night, June 28, 2024, starting at 7 p.m.

The themes for June are “Sibling Rivalry” and/or “Father’s Day (Life with or without father.)”

This monthly event is a night of honest, true stories told by your friends and neighbors.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. so come early, take a seat, visit your neighbor and enjoy the stories in the museum. Before or after the event, enjoy a summer night in beautiful Burien at the numerous restaurants and bars.

This event is FREE (donations gratefully accepted).

Below is an edited version of 7 stories from May 24, 2024, on the theme “Chance Encounters” or “Tiny Acts,” which includes a charming bonus eighth story on a longtime penpal relationship (running time 1-hour, 6-minutes):

Storytellers Needed

Please consider sharing your true story…in the spirit of community and friendship.

Organizers will coach/help you as much as you would like.

7 Stories is a storytelling night, so craft your true experience into your own story. It’s not a literary event. You’re sharing your true story with us. And…we’ll love it!

As Paul from Fresh Ground Stories (a mentor storytelling group) advises:

“Remember to practice your story out loud on as many people as possible and time yourself when you’re doing it. Please don’t get onstage if you haven’t practiced your story. The audience is giving you their time and attention. It’s not fair to them if you get up there and try to wing it.”

Event Will Be Live-Streamed

If you can’t make it to this event in person, be sure to “Like” us on Facebook here to get a notification, as The B-Town Blog will be streaming it live starting at 7 p.m.
