Event Description

mouthoffs are 5 minute stories in nontraditonal venues

NEW DATE: AUG 14th Sunday from 5:00 - 6:15 pm.
Slam winning storyteller and npr producer, Karen Given will host an open mic with 
stories inspired by the Bard's words. Bring your 5 minute stories showing how it really is true that all is well that ends well.  Or that a rose by any other name smells as sweet. Or how important it is "to thine own self be true.  True life stories, folk tales - whatever! Bring it.  Look for us near the Parkman Bandstand on the Boston Common.

Commonwealth Shakespeare's final free performance of All's Well That Ends Well follows at 7PM


However ever you want to put the Bards words in your 5 minute story about your lived experience.


Karen Given:
Karen is a writer, blogger, and massmouth storyteller.  When she's not amusing audiences with tales ranging from modern dating disasters to growing up in a crazy desert town, Karen tells stories of another variety while working as a reporter and producer for WBUR and
NPR’s Only A Game.

 

Hey Ho, the Wind and the Rain

When that I was and a little tiny boy,
With hey, ho, the wind and the rain,
A foolish thing was but a toy,
For the rain it raineth every day...

-Feste, 12th Night
