Events › Stories After Dark: Found Family

Join OPL for a fun storytelling event for adults!

Family isn’t always about who you’re born to—it’s also about the people who choose you, support you, and stand by you. Have you ever found a group of people who felt like home? We want to hear your story of found family and the bonds that brought you together!

Prepare a 5-8 minute story about your experience and come share with the crowd. All participants will be awarded a superlative award!

Terrified of the stage? We need audience members to cheer on our storytellers.

Storyteller Ground Rules:

• Follow the theme: Found Family
• Stories must be based on life.
• Stories should not exceed 8 minutes.
• Visual aides and artifacts encouraged.

This is a free event for adults 19+.

Storytellers are encouraged to sign up here ahead of time. Walk-in storytellers will be permitted if time allows.
