In its fourth season, Stories@Latitude 56 enters a new phase of its evolution. The increasingly popular Story Slam--at the Creek Street Cabaret, on the second Tuesday of most months--now becomes the focal point of this storytelling enterprise, and the pool from which stories will be drawn for a season-ending finale: one night of the previous year's most compelling stories, as told by members of our community. Join us monthly for an evening of informal storytelling, and then in April for a collection of some of Ketchikan's best stories and storytellers--including, quite possibly, you!

The themes for this season are:

Oct 9 - Hold the phone
Nov 13 - Unintended Education
Dec 11 - Lost & Found
Jan 8 - Serendipity
Feb 12 - Where there's smoke, there's fire.
March 12 - Insider/Outsider
