A Live Storytelling Event: Lessons Learned - By Waupaca Story Project
🎤 Waupaca Story Project is Seeking Storytellers!
Do you have a story about a lesson learned the hard way, the funny way, or a way you never saw coming?
Join the Waupaca Story Project's next LIVE storytelling event on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, from 6:30–8:30 PM at The Grand National Lounge and help bring the theme "Lesson Learned" to life.
We've all learned lessons that have shaped who we are. Maybe it's a mistake you'll never make again, advice you wish you'd listened to, a person who changed your perspective, or a moment when you realized you had been completely wrong. Perhaps it's a lesson you're still working on today.
Stories can be profound, hilarious, heartbreaking, embarrassing, inspiring, or delightfully ordinary. Creative interpretations of the theme are always encouraged!
✨ No storytelling experience is necessary. If you have a true story that happened to you, we'd love to hear it.
