Storytelling, lectures, music offered this weekend

Storytelling, lectures and music is planned on the North Olympic Peninsula this weekend.

• Out Loud Story Slam will be at Olympic Theatre Arts in Sequim tonight. Host Nessa Goldman will emcee the event set for 7 p.m. at the OTA gathering hall, 414 N. Sequim Ave. The theme for the evening is “Head Over Heels.”

Tickets are $15 and are available online at olympic theatrearts.org, at the theatre box office, or at the door, if available, cash and card accepted. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and show starts at 7 p.m.

Everyone is invited to drop their name in the bag to share a five-minute true, personal story on the theme, which can be interpreted as wished.

Storytellers are judged by the audience. Winners will go on to participate in a future Grand Slam. Audience members can also participate anonymously or just enjoy the tales of the evening.
