ABOUT FULL CIRCLE STORYTELLING 

“Experienced my first storytelling last night at Jilly's. I'm hooked. The vibe was so wonderful, the all-inclusive atmosphere they created was like medicine.” ― Danielle Sawat

Open to all, Full Circle Storytelling events revolve around a prompt and the idea: everyone has a story. Sign up to tell a true story inspired by the evening’s prompt or just come to enjoy the evening! (No experience necessary.) Co-hosted by Wandering Aesthetics, Jilly's Music Room and The Akronist, this intimate evening of storytelling will conjure the spirit of community. 

Stories range from heart wrenching to hysterical – and everywhere in-between! 

Full Circle Storytelling is FREE and OPEN to the public.

This Full Circle Storytelling event will be held on Wednesday, November 29th from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm at Jilly’s Music Room located at 111 N Main St. • Akron, OH 44308.

Registration is encouraged, (especially for storytellers), but not required. To register or for more information, please visit www.watheatre.com/fullcircle, email info@watheatre.com or call 330.612.3090.

 
THE PROMPT: ‘Food, Glorious Food!’

Oh food! Wonderful food! Marvelous food! Glorious food! 

Let’s be real for a minute: we all love food. Sometimes it’s a love/hate relationship, but without food, we’d just… die. For better or worse, food has us in its thrall. Join Wandering Aesthetics with emcee Dana Norris (Story Club Cleveland) to share stories about “Food, Glorious Food!” 

…Even if the stories aren’t so glorious. 

Prompt inspired by submission from: Beth Knorr, Director of Summit Food Coalition
 
November’s Full Circle event is being presented in partnership with Countryside Conservancy and Summit Food Coalition. As part of this collaboration, Jilly’s Music Room will serve a delicious specialty cocktail inspired by local ingredients.
 
Additionally, the evening will feature a “recipe swap”– a Full Circle variation of Countryside’s monthly “Local Food Swap” events. Anyone can participate by bringing two copies of a favorite recipe.
