Watch and Listen to Jessica Markley during Stink Bug Night.

A local version of an open-mic storytelling competition.

The night's theme for a five-minute story is: "Life and/or Death". These are stories centered on the theme of life and/or death.  Tales of hope, fear, loss, love or learning – so long as they center on the idea of coming to terms with or grappling with questions about what it means to be human, we’re all ears.
