Gretchen, one of the wonderful tellers from our show last week, wrote a play! And you can see it February 5-8 at the Kenmoor Community Club

It’s a “dramedy about what happens when the skeletons in the closet meet the ashes in the jar.” If you’ve enjoyed her stories at FGS over the years, you’ll want to catch her play.

Ashes Ashes We All Fall Down

Congratulations, Gretchen!

Hi Everyone,

Our next show is tomorrow! The theme is “Pressure – Stories of getting talked into things.” I hope a bunch of you bring stories to share 🙂

Themes are just suggestions, and you can tell a story on almost any topic as long as it follows the usual rules and guidelines.  Here they are if you haven’t seen them in a while. Every now and then I update them.

Storytelling Rules and Guidelines

If this is your first time coming to FGS, we hold the show on the top floor of the Seattle Swedish Club. The show starts at 7 pm, and there are 109 spots of free parking, so you won’t have to walk far.

If you want to tell a story, show up before 7:00 and throw your name in Mr. Coffee. I give away three free memberships to the club after each show so put your name in the old Folger’s can if you’d like a chance at winning one of those.

Here’s a fantastic story from Kevin McGeehan to get you inspired.

I love all of Kevin’s stories. I might do a line-by-line breakdown of this one next month to show you why.

I’m looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Paul
