Join OPL for a fun storytelling event for adults! Experience compelling narratives and diverse perspectives in a vibrant atmosphere. Doors open at 6:45 PM for refreshments and mingling. From kitchen disasters to DIY projects gone wildly wrong—have you ever had a moment when everything fell apart? Whether it’s a recipe that turned into a total mess, a vacation that took a turn, or an event you hosted that descended into complete chaos, we want to hear your funniest fail! Prepare a story about a personal or fictional experience and come share with the crowd. All participants will be awarded a superlative award! Not ready for the stage? We need audience members to cheer on our storytellers. 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. Storyteller Ground Rules: Follow the theme: Recipe for Disaster Stories must be based on life. Stories should not exceed 8 minutes.
