Stories In the Pines Story Swap

Storytelling is an ancient tradition that is enjoying a resurgence at the Eastham Library. Matt Mercier, adjunct professor at Hunter College in New York has hosted several story swaps called "Stories in the Pines". The evening involves 4-6 stories, all true, all focussed around a common theme, and all stories are performed without notes.

Our final story swap for this summer will be held at the Chapel In The Pines on August 26th at 6:30 PM and the theme is "Brushes with Fame".

Here is a link to one of the stories told last summer. The theme for that evening was "The One That Got Away".

Here is another from Liz Argo from another evening, when the stores focussed on "Jobs".
