SECURE YOUR SPOT!
Spend an evening listening to powerful, inspiring and energetic true stories from a variety of people, including those from our very own Richmond community. You will be delighted and in awe of their courage to stand up and share in front of an audience, and leave the theatre in thought and with a full heart.
Stories have meaning. Stories inspire us. Most importantly, stories bring us together.
This showcase will feature 7-8 storytellers who will have just completed a 2-day workshop with Deborah Williams, the co-founder and Artistic Producer of Vancouver’s wildly popular storytelling series, The Flame.
Free to Attend with Registration
History
The Flame began in Deb Williams and Bruce Kennedys’ eastside Vancouver living room in 2009. Together with co-creator Joel Wirkkunen, they invited 20 people to each share a personal true story. In return, the tellers were offered wine, cheese, and a warm place to gather. The storytellers, mostly professional performers, arrived self-conscious with acute stage fright. They told their stories, heard others, and left exhilarated; filled, and wanting more.
The Flame caught fire.
