Not sure why the art of storytelling isn't everyone's cup of tea, but hell, it should be. So take a look at the 2014 theme line-up for Odyssey Storytelling, the Tucson group that's organized storytelling events around Tucson since 2004. The monthly storytelling evenings are the first Thursday of the month at FLUXX Studios and Gallery, and six invited storytellers share a 10-minute story on the theme—never memorized and no notes.

Admission is $8, and if you like the themes (below) and have a story to tell, send an email to stories@Odysseystorytelling.com or call 730-4112.
