***Date changed to May 8***

Join True Tales Told Live for live storytelling on a theme — Spring Forward, tales of making moves and taking action, at 6 p.m.May 8 at The Goods on K-Beach Road in Soldotna. True Tales Told Live is similar to The Moth nationwide storytelling series, or Arctic Entries in Anchorage. A storyteller has seven minutes to tell a story that is true, that happened to them and that somehow relates to the evening's theme. The performance is free to attend. Food is available to purchase at The Goods (come early to order). Seating is limited — it's not a bad idea to bring your own folding chair, just in case.

Storytellers wanted! Contact Jenny at info@kdll.org or 907-394-6397 for more information or to sign up to participate. There's a rehearsal for storytellers at 6 p.m. May 7 at The Goods.
