Welcome to StoryNight!

Presented by Paper Mill Playhouse in partnership with the Oregon Coast School of Art.

StoryNight is a simple idea with deep roots:

Real People, sharing real stories, creating real connection.

In January of 2026, we began to get together on the third Friday of the month for an evening of live storytelling centered around a monthly theme - moments that shaped us, lessons learned, laughter, loss, resilience, and the truth that makes us human.

You don't have to be a performer.

You don't have to be a writer. You just have to be you.

Whether you come to share or simply to listen, you're part of what makes this community special.
