Story Barn at Greenwich Historical Society
Tuesday, April 27
7:30  pm 

Greenwich Historical Society will present the third in a series that is fast becoming one of our biggest draws.

If you didn’t catch the first two Story Barns, don’t make the mistake of missing the next. Story Barn is a unique way to experience oral tradition, explore local lore and get a whole new perspective on the lives of your friends and neighbors. Each storyteller tells a five-minute tale on a given theme. It’s difficult to explain unless you’ve had the experience, but once you have been to Story Barn, you’ll be hooked. The program is inspired by Themoth.org, a New York organization dedicated to “celebrating the ability of stories to honor the diversity and commonality of human experience.”.

Join us for an evening of standup, standout stories straight from the heart.

Space is limited. Proceed to payment or call (203) 869-6899, ext. 18 to reserve.

 $15 per person, $10 for members
Light refreshments included
