extempo @ Bridgeside Books, 29 Stowe St in Waterbury VT @ 8:00pm
Now in its 10th year, extempo is Vermont's premiere original live storytelling series.

Often about half the participants are veteran storytellers, and half are newcomers trying it for the first or second time. Sign up in advance to give it a try, or just come listen. Arrive early if you want a seat!
- $5 admission. Storytellers admitted FREE.
- Food & beverages available for purchase on site (via Stowe Street Cafe.)
- Open all day. Stories from 8:00 to 10:00.
