May 20, 2021Inlandia at Home is gearing up for an exciting new season of oral storytelling with The Flame: Firsts and Worsts, beginning May 13 and running through May 27, from 7:00-8:30 PM. This virtual series will be held entirely on Zoom, and includes two workshops, a final rehearsal, and a public storytelling performance.
Workshop #1 – Thursday, May 13, 7:00-8:30 PM
Workshop #2 – Thursday, May 20, 7:00-8:30 PM
Final Rehearsal – Tuesday, May 25, 7:00-8:30 PM
Public Storytelling Performance – Thursday, May 27, 7:00-8:30 PM
As we cruise into late spring, The Flame returns for another round of true stories shared live online exploring the theme of “Firsts and Worsts.” Interested in taking the storytelling stage? The Flame would love to hear the story of your first job, your first friend, your first kiss – or your worst job, your worst friend, or your worst kiss on your worst first date.
Two workshops and a final rehearsal prior to the storytelling event will provide the guidance and time needed to develop stories to be shared with a live audience. The process will be fun and challenging, but not as challenging as saying the title of the theme five times fast, “Firsts and Worsts,” “Firsts and Worsts,” “Firsts and Firsts,” “Worsts and Worsts,” “Stirsts and Sfworsts” …
If you would like to be one of the storytellers and have a “first and/or worst” story you’d like to share, please send a short synopsis to Inlandia@InlandiaInstitute.org. Free and open to the public, but spaces are limited!

Toward Peace Interactive Live Storytelling and Puppetry Series
Around the World with Karen & Nicole
Inlandia at Home and the Mission Inn Foundation are pleased to present a virtual storytelling and puppetry event in conjunction with the Foundation’s multi-faceted project, Toward Peace, which explores the history of the peace activism of Mission Inn founder, Frank A. Miller, and its legacy for us today. Attendance is free of charge but registration is required.
Storyteller Karen Rae Kraut and puppeteer Nicole Cloeren will be presenting “Good Advice,” a tale from the American Southwest, about a simple boy who receives three pieces of advice from a mysterious wise woman. By following the woman’s guidance, the boy experiences unimagined adventures and rewards. RSVP: https://tinyurl.com/TowardPeaceStorytelling4
Toward Peace is a multi-activity project of the Mission Inn Foundation exploring the history of the Inn’s founder, Frank A. Miller, and his peace activism. The project includes an exhibition and other public programs looking more deeply into Miller’s history – and explores peace more broadly for us today as individuals and as communities. Toward Peace was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. For more information, please visit calhum.org.
