About Northport Village Storytelling
Our History
NORTHPORT VILLAGE: The first Northport Village StorySLAM, an engaging storytelling event inspired by The Moth, took place on September 26, 2021, and by all accounts, it was a resounding success. The evening resonated with both the audience members and the storytellers, touching their hearts and minds. Fueled by the goodwill and interest generated from that night, the event’s organizer, Liz Alexander, decided to capitalize on that momentum to establish live storytelling events in Northport Village on a regular basis. "This genre of storytelling motivates me to create platforms for stories to be told. They have the power to draw out our empathy, provide comic relief, remind us of our humanity, bridge divides, and offer perspective on our internal and external worlds," stated Liz Alexander. The storytelling format features true narratives drawn from personal experiences lived by each storyteller. These stories are thoughtfully crafted based on a selected theme and are told—not read—before a live audience, echoing the spirit of storytelling.com.
