StoryOLy is Olympia’s community storytelling event and contest that was created by Amy Shephard and Elizabeth Lord in 2015. It is modeled after the nationally known Moth Story Hour. Each month people from all different backgrounds and experiences tell a true personal story (8 minutes or less in duration) that reflects that month’s theme. They are moving, sometimes funny, and always real.

Three volunteer judges in the audience score each teller on a scale from 1-10. The highest scoring teller wins a cash prize, tee-shirt and then moves on to the grand slam which takes place in September 2027 at the Capitol Theater.

Each month StoryOly donates a portion of the money collected at the door to a local organization doing good work in our community. Last season StoryOly donated a total $5,758,00 to variety of organizations.

StoryOly offers three separate storytelling WORKSHOPS a season to help storytellers discover and shape their tales. Taught by accomplished storyteller, Elizabeth Lord. They are November 14, February 20, and May 22. More info at www.professionaltalker.com

This is a very popular event. It is advised that attendees arrive quite early to secure a seat. Outside food is welcome – arrive early, bring some take out, eat dinner and then enjoy the storytelling!
