With themes of birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations, this event features live musicians and storytelling that will delight and move you.
General Admission: Pay-What-You-Will
The Flame began in Deb Williams and Bruce Kennedys’ eastside Vancouver living room in 2009. Together with co-creator Joel Wirkkunen, they invited 20 people to each share a personal true story. In return, the tellers were offered wine, cheese, and a warm place to gather. The storytellers, mostly professional performers, arrived self-conscious with acute stage fright. They told their stories, heard others, and left exhilarated; filled, and wanting more.
The Flame caught fire.
