Why swap?

Swapping stories is as old as human speech. For storytellers, swaps give us a chance to share and work on stories in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. We can work on personal style and explore the meaning of our stories, deepening our telling and listening skills. And, swaps give us all a chance to listen to each others stories!

Our regular swaps are held on the second Wednesday of each month at Manhattan Plaza (400 West 43rd Street, inside the Duke Ellington Room)at 7:30 p.m.

Some new and interesting new tellers are developing their talents. Please feel free to join us any second Wednesday.

If you need further information, please call Margaret Dawson at 1–212–594–2148.

Please call our voice–mail number (1–212–613–3117) or use our online message page if you have any lingering questions. And thank you for taking part in our swaps!
