7 Stories is returning on Friday, Jan. 26, 2024 at the Highline Heritage Museum on the theme “Brush With Greatness” or “You Only Live Once (Y.O.L.O.).”

This will be the first session of 2024, and will start at 7 p.m. at the museum (map below).

NOTE: If you can’t make it to this event in person, be sure to “Like” us on Facebook here to get a notification, as we’ll be streaming it live on that page starting at 7 p.m.

Who hasn’t been held captive by a powerful, funny, or frightening story?  ‘7 Stories’ is a night of such storytelling – to build community, empathy, and celebrate our diversity.

• Each 7 Stories night has a theme and storytellers sign up and are selected in advance. Real stories are spellbinding and raw.
• They are not a theatrical performance, but true life stories from your friends, acquaintances, or someone you have never met.
• These stories are told from the heart.
• Each program is introduced by our host for the evening, with a short bio of each storyteller.

Parents should use discretion when deciding whether to include children. Not all stories will be appropriate for young listeners.
