Chestnut: A Live Storytelling Show
7:00pm
In the spirit of liberation and celebration what’s a time when you were on top? Prepare a story about your craziest party, a victory you didn’t see coming, or that mountain you finally climbed after 5 years of planning. Think back to that bottle of tequila or a sunny day after a storm. Whether it was a win for the soul or fireworks literally lit up the sky, sometimes we need a reminder to celebrate the big and the small.
In case you need anymore inspiration I invite you to think back to those milestones: prom, 21st birthday, that wedding your cousin had in the woods, or the 30th birthday party that was more of a rave.
Bring a story, a friend, or simply yourselves.
