Hey, champ! Thanks for checking out Telltale. We are a monthly curated storytelling event for people that like to get vulnerable and take no shit. We are keen on connection, laughter, heartbreak, poignant moments, and community building.
We are already most of the way through our 8th season! Holy moly!
At Telltale, you can expect about 8-10 performers—with a focus on queer/BIPOC folks— telling you a story, through a mix of comedy, stories, music, essays, and more. Your evening will likely include honesty, curse words, enthusiasm, dark humor, connection....and sometimes something unexpected. So please come and remind yourself that the world is bigger than we remembered and that you're never alone. We are specifically focused on stories from people that can get vulnerable but also take no shit, fierce folks that know how to fight the good fight but also like naps and staying home most nights.
(Psssssst: There will be a very good raffle.)
This month's theme is "We Have To Save Each Other," and it's going to be a joyful celebration of the work that Outside In (www.outsidein.org) has been doing in the Portland community since 1968. This event is meant to lift up the folks doing doing front line work at a particlarly difficult time—have you been paying attention to everything!?—and remind each other that we aren't alone in fiercely loving the patients and youth we work with, and that we have each other's backs.
There will be an epic raffle, ways to share your experience, and a few little surprises.
Also, we have no room for any oppressive garbage. Don't even try, pal.
I think that covers it. I'll see you there. I think you’re very cool and the event will be better with you there. This community is better with you being part of it.
