Portland Storytellers’ Guild: Wish You Were Here! Postcards From the Road

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

Stories are postcards from along our way. Discoveries, detours, the ordinary suddenly transformed, as we get lost in a new country, return home to find ourselves or stumble into the fog of someone’s cheap sci-fi movie. So many details squeezed between the compact margins of the postcard. For in these small souvenirs full of memory, it’s always in the details that we find how we got through. Wish you were here! Join storytellers Steven Henegar, John Wylder and Tony Zimbardi for the full story on Saturday, January 2 at 7:00 pm via Zoom in the comfort of your own home.  Click here for Tickets.  AND...
