FITCHBURG -- Massmouth Storytelling in Fitchburg presents a special storytelling session at 7 p.m. Friday at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Leominster.

"We are invited to take part in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival hosted by Fitchburg State University," said event producer Sally Cragin. "We look forward to hearing lots of new stories from community folks and visitors to the area."

The festival fits nicely with Massmouth's goals.

"Massmouth promotes the timeless art of storytelling through social media, education and live performance," said Massmouth director Norah Dooley.

The format is fast-moving -- participants can select a prompt, such as "my favorite food," "something I'll never do again," or "my worst date," or choose a topic of their own.

Everyone has five minutes to tell a story. At the end of the evening, a jury of nonstorytellers selects the best story.

"You don't have to tell a story to enjoy Massmouth Storytelling," said Cragin. "We welcome audience members. But those who tell a story will receive a card good for a free draft beer at the Boulder Cafe or a tea or coffee drink at Chaibo."

Next storytelling is at 7 p.m. Feb. 18 at Design at 639, 639 Main St. The event is free.
