Description
In the fall of 2015, Riley Worth brought the first Story Show to Albert Lea, MN. Since then we’ve been producing about two shows a year with the profits from each show going to a different local charitable organization. Each show features at least eight writers with local ties, each sharing a story on a common theme, a theme tied to the show’s dedicated charity. The stories of this community should be shared and passed on. We encourage you to take part in this process of historical preservation and storytelling. Consider writing and sharing a piece for a future Story Show. We all have a story to tell. What’s yours?
