Gather: A Storytelling Event

Gather: A Storytelling Event comes to The Bug Theater on Sunday, October 18, as part of The Delores Project. The theme for this one is HOME, and the whole afternoon is built around it. It's a storytelling night in the truest sense: storytellers, poets, and musicians from the community take the stage to share original work—poetry, prose, and song—all woven around the stories that bring them together. The organizers describe it as an evening that celebrates the art of belonging, and they're promising laughter, goosebumps, and even a few tears as the voices rise and resonate in ways only live storytelling can.

Because it's a community-driven show, you'll hear a mix of forms rather than just one. The poetry, the prose, and the music aren't separate acts; they're all working the same theme, so the night moves between spoken word and song. It's the kind of thing that works best in a room where you can actually hear the voices, and that's exactly what Gather is set up for.

One thing to keep in mind before you head over: this is an 18+ event, so it's not one to bring the kids to. If you're planning your Sunday around it, the timing is pretty convenient for a late-afternoon thing. It runs from 3 PM to 5 PM, with doors opening at 2:30 PM, so you've got plenty of time to get settled before it kicks off. Admission is free, and you'll find it at The Bug Theater, 3654 Navajo St, Denver, CO 80211.
