The new year is just about here! And so are these great storytelling shows. Last year proved to be a great year for storytelling of all sorts in the DC, MD, and VA area. This year is shaping up to be just a great. I’m excited not only for the shows you can find below, but also the other upcoming events I’ll be posting about later this year. If you have done so already, share with people you know the Story Telling On Purpose blog so more people can work on and enjoy storytelling in all its forms!

Want your show listed in a monthly blogpost? Send me info about date, time, place, and a link to your site to storytellingonpurpose365@gmail.com. I’d love to hear about, and so would the rest of the DMV.

After years of being an instructor in the military and the and the fire service, I realized I needed to improve my delivery. My students needed me to improve delivery. But how do I improve my delivery? Simple. I finally took a member of Toastmasters up on the invitation to come to a meeting. It wasn't long until I joined. Along the way of improving my skills at delivering a message, I came to understand that of all the ways to get a point across, telling stories is the best way to get it done. Around this time, another friend from Toastmasters told me about The Moth monthly story telling shows. What better way to test out my theories on storytelling. It's in my travels there to the shows that I found more and more shows, and classes, and events centered around storytelling. Despite how many people know about the storytelling world, not many people know about the storytelling world. So now, I'm out to tell the world about storytelling.
