Carapace Atlanta
Come out of your shell!
A place for story connoisseurs…
Carapace is a monthly event of true personal stories at Manuel's Tavern in Atlanta, every second Tuesday of the month (except December). While the show begins at 7p, we encourage people to get there early to meet their neighbors and enjoy a meal before the mic goes live.
Raconteurs + Rapt Audience
= Really Good Time!
Every second Tuesday of the month, ordinary raconteurs tell true, personal, five-minute (or so) stories on a pre-selected theme. Topics have included, for example, "Scars," and "Feuds & Rivalries."
Our hilarious host, Cris Gray, guides us through.
Names are drawn from a hat. No one is required to tell a story; attendees can just listen. It's free.
Next Month’s Theme:
We Didn’t Start the Fire
Tuesday, July 8, 7p Manuel’s Tavern
Prompt coming soon.
We’ll be red hot & waiting for you at Manuel’s Tavern, Tuesday, July 8 at 7p, a delightful routine on second Tuesdays of the month. Come down early for some enlivening food & such, to hang out with other fellow story connoisseurs.
As a reminder, there’s never any pressure to tell a story. We adore story listeners and storytellers alike.
STORYTELLING TIPS:
Find the change in your story. In her show stopper, “Defying Gravity,” Elphaba sings, “something has changed in me.” A story is not a story unless some change has occurred. What's changed in you as the narrator, the circumstances, or the environment? If nothing changes, then it might just be an anecdote. Find the change in your story. As such, every story you tell brings change into the world.
The hat of destiny awaits…
There’s never any pressure to tell a story, but you’ll never experience a more welcoming environment to try out the mic.
Join in the fun…
