This Month's Features: 

Regi Carpenter is the youngest daughter in a family of contradictions: religious and raucous, tender but terrible, unfortunate yet irrepressible. Tales of underwater tea parties, drowning lessons, and drives to the dump give voice to multiple generations of family life in a small river town with an undercurrent.

Bill Harley is well-traveled, well-read, well-educated, well-spoken, and well-loved. His songs and stories celebrate our common humanity. His ability to navigate a confusing world with humor and wisdom is evident in his masterful storytelling. His work has influenced a generation of children, parents, performing artists and educators.

Celebrate the Timeless Art of Storytelling, with Truths, Folktales, Rumors, and everything in between. Traditional or True its up to you! Join us at our Open Mic and set your story free.
