Pop-Up Stories with WKAR: Change of Heart

We can all be a little stuck in our ways sometimes.

Which makes it pretty memorable when something manages to change our mind.

Maybe you went on an adventure that totally changed your worldview.

Or maybe you met someone who convinced you to reconsider what you thought you believed.

If so, we want to hear about it!

Come share your story about having a “change of heart” at the first Pop-Up Stories of the year! Prepare a five-minute story about a time your life made a U-turn or you were convinced to switch sides on an issue.

Current State host Mark Bashore will be hosting the event at the MICA gallery in Old Town. We’ll have light refreshments and a great line-up of storytellers.

If want to sign up to tell a story or have questions about the project, please email April Van Buren at avanburen@wkar.org.
