Tell Us a Tale! Northport Village Storytelling

These Northport Village Storytelling events are super fun and wonderful ways to get to know our neighbors and build community. We were thrilled to get to host one at The Firefly a few years ago and are excited every time one happens!
 
Inspired by The Moth Radio Hour, Elizabeth Alexander has been working with neighbors to craft these live story telling events, creating opportunities for the community to connect and to be inspired. There’s a beautiful story about it written by Joanne Kountourakis here in the Northport Journal. 
 
Moth-style storytelling is a genre of personal narratives about experiences that took place in the storyteller’s life. The stories are crafted, planned, and told (not read) before a live audience. It’s a wonderful art form that allows folks to connect at a very human level.
