Do It Yourself Stories is a social storytelling forum hosted by David Vanadia. DIY Stories comes in several varieties: 1. A monthly open stage where you can listen and tell real-life stories about anything and everything. 2. Themed shows where people gather to share stories about a particular topic. 3. Curated shows in which a select group of individuals present stories in front of a live audience.How It Began Do It Yourself Stories began in December of 2006. The show was inspired by similar storytelling events that happen across the country but was designed to foster creativity over competition and community instead of cliques. Storytelling for the people, by the people. Mark your calendar! Bring your friends, bring your stories. The more the merrier! 8-10 Stories
No cover in December.
Happy Holidays!
