What better place to meet with family and friends, as the clock embraces the winter nights? Humankind has met here since the beginning, telling stories and myths to dream on, stiffen our resolve, and melt our hearts.

Storyteller Ken Iverson tells his original story, The Mouse At The Manger, a retelling of the Nativity story, along with other of his favorite stories of Christmas to prepare us for our Christmas celebrations.

Four Portland Guild Members who tell stories nationwide as professional storytellers meet via the magic of the internet. From Alaska, Georgia, and Oregon,  they will regale you with stories of limitless bounty!

From folk lore to recent history, teens will find themselves in life-changing circumstances you’d never expect.  And they get through those situations in ways that will surprise you. If you have ever wondered why we don’t go directly from childhood to adulthood, these stories will help you answer that burning philosophical question. 

When does truth become a lie and a lie, truth? Six stories of childhood adventures, travels in Alaska, and the puzzles and absurdities of the modern working life will make an evening of truth, wonder, and ...well....

Sailing a boat on the seven seas, riding the rails along the coast of Italy, flying the airways home and back again, are all ways to move from one point in time to another.         

Travel can be an adventure, a necessity, a revelation. It is often an exhausting, exhilarating, infuriating mix of emotions.

Sometimes we turn away from our own best intentions. Other times we must step off the path that everyone expects of us. Occasionally, we find unexpected redemption. And sometimes we discover that we’re just not as smart as we thought.

An evening of captivating stories ranging from remote, small town Hayward to urban Milwaukie.

Journeys can take us into darkness.  And bring us back out again.

Who knows how to handle the silly, serious, bizarre, or bawdy challenges that life throws at us better that those who have survived them --and lived to tell the tales?
