Fabled Nights in Newport and Stories by the Fire


Fabled Nights is back and this month our host is Cameron Sharp.

Cam is a valued member of Storytelling Australia Victoria, famous for bringing tears to our eyes with heartfelt personal tales that have taken us to the Oodnadatta Track, New York and back stage of musical theatre where he revealed to us the secrets of the quick change!
At Fabled Nights we encourage folks to have a go, not only telling a story but with hosting, kitchen duties, setting up and packing down. The night belongs to all of us, its a safe place to learn new skills and confidence in running story gatherings.

If you have a gig on the horizon and you want to test out your story, come along!

We enjoy true, fictional, traditional and rhyming verse.

We ask that stories be 8 - 10 minutes. We have two longer spots on offer if you would like more time.
Please don't read, unless you are working on an oral piece.

Let kind hearts and common sense prevail: homophobic and misogynistic stories hurt people. And we ask that if you tell someone else's personal story, you assure us, you have their permission. You can read out values statement HERE.
