The only thing that is better than listening to a great story is telling one…. and (un)told is always looking for people to tell stories at our monthly events.
We are a supportive and appreciative audience. Pros and first-timers feel equally at ease at our open mic, and applause is never in short supply.
Our guidelines are simple: It has to be true, and it has to be by you. No notes. No props. Tell it live.
Stories should be:
- about 5 minutes long (try to keep it shorter than 7 minutes).
- original – in others words, your original take on something.
- told from memory. We’re not going to shun you for having crib notes in your hand, but seriously – TELL us the story from your heart, the way you’d tell it to your friends.
- connected to the theme. Loose and varied interpretations are welcome (and encouraged!)
To sign up, email us at untold.ottawa@gmail.com with a few sentences about your story and why you want to tell it.
