What’s your story?
Join us at Cville Stories to share yours
Cville Stories is a vibrant personal storytelling event where you will have an opportunity to share your story and to hear some amazing stories from our selected storytellers.
This new show is produced by Barbara Fornoff. Barbara has told stories with Better Said Than Done, Story District, and here in Charlottesville with The Big Blue Door. Our show is in the style of The Moth, and our stories are true personal stories that are themed, with time limits, no notes and no props. The Crozet Gazette did a feature article on me and Cville Stories.

Our next show is on September 28th, from 5:00 PM to 7 PM at The Batesville Market. Our theme is Back to the Garden: stories about Mother Nature and the great outdoors. The show will feature 8 storytellers with a range of true personal stories.

If you are interested in being one of our storytellers please contact us with the synopsis of your story. I will want to hear your whole story if you are chosen for the show.
We want to let you know that our show follows these boundaries for stories that are included in Cville Stories shows: We want to provide a safe and respectful space and we want stories that are free from discrimination or intimidation based on race, gender, ability, or sexual orientation. This includes any demeaning speech, or artistic interpretation that mocks or demeans.
