Rhode Island Public Radio and the Providence Athenaeum present “That’s My Story And I’m Sticking To It!
Join the Providence Athenaeum and Rhode Island Public Radio for a unique evening of writing and live storytelling. Using some prompts to get the creativity flowing, the audience will be asked to write for a brief time and then be invited to share their stories live.
The live storytelling will be recorded for a future RIPR broadcast. Pencils and paper will be provided – you just bring the stories and the telling.
The event will be hosted by RIPR???s general assignment reporter, John Bender, and a local author. More details coming soon.
When: Thursday March 8, 2018 / 5:30 – 7:30pm
Where: Providence Athenaeum, 251 Benefit Street, Providence RI
Price: The event is free, but space is limited. Registration via Eventbrite required
