Grown Folks Stories™

Two hours of five minute stories of our community, told by our community! There is no theme, no judging, no poetry, no readings.

Grown Folks Stories is two hours of five minute stories that range from the hilarious to the absolutely real. Join this ever-popular gathering of nonprofessional, unrehearsed storytellers, who give us the real stories we live everyday. EVERY THIRD THURSDAY OF THE MONTH! Created by Cara Brigandi and Eric Williams, Founder of the Silverroom.
