StoryJAM is a dynamic and powerful event that honors and keeps alive the time-honored tradition of storytelling. Long before screens or even books, storytelling has been a way for us to share our traditions, connect, and make sense of the world around us.
The StoryJAM meets every second Thursday of the month, but we are changing the time to 6 PM.
June’s theme: Dads and Father Figures
June also includes something special:
At 5 PM, co-host Barry Callen will offer a session with practical tips for shaping a story, connecting with an audience, and calming those pre-stage nerves.
