SHINE: Bright Stories of Positive Change

Looking for inspiration as you start the new year?  Join us for true stories on the theme "Fresh Start" at the SHINE storytelling event on Thursday, January 17 at 7:30 pm at the Westside YWCA.  Stories will involve fresh starts such as moving, job and relationship changes, and new attitudes.

SHINE is a monthly series featuring professional and amateur storytellers coming together on the third Thursday of every month to share inspiring true stories.  Professionals are chosen from some of the nation’s top award-winning storytellers and writers.  Guest storytellers are selected from audience members through a random drawing. A new theme is announced each month.

This month, SHINE will also feature live music by the folk guitarist Matt van Winkle. www.mattvanwinklemusic.com

SHINE is produced by Jen Bloom and Isabel Storey and presented by Santa Monica Repertory Theater, Storey Productions, UCLArts and Healing, and the YWCA Women’s Partnership.

Those interested in becoming a Guest Storyteller are encouraged to visit www.StoriesBloom.com in advance for monthly theme and guidelines
