Join Speakeasy Improv for a monthly comedy show that will keep you laughing till you cry. Think "Whose Line is it Anyway" but with R rated shenanigans and plenty of good vibes to go around. The talented cast of WITB brings off the wall energy and fun to every show and it is ALL made up! So put on your best set of overalls and grab some friends to come out to party and find out "What's in the Box?"

Held on First Sundays, join this all-arts open mic. Prepare a five minute original piece in whatever medium you so choose — storytelling, music, poetry, literature, comedy, dance — or simply come to enjoy and support the local arts community.

Join this gathering of stories describing personal journeys produced by Storyteller Chuck Fink. This Story Parlor Signature Series features local storytellers practiced in the art of delivering stories that are true to the human spirit and experience. Come to laugh, come to grieve, come to share in the journey of being.

Long-running reading series, Juniper Bends, presents an evening of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction and music featuring local and visiting artists.

In this workshop, we’ll practice how to communicate our stories concisely and effectively, and how to carefully listen to each other with acceptance and empathy. When we take these skills into everyday life, we contribute to restoring connection in a divided world and will ultimately understand ourselves more deeply as well.
