What is a Philly Story?

A Philly Story is much like the city it is inspired by. It's a story that doesn't have to have a big glowing skyline to show that it's important. It doesn't see anything wrong with getting lost in a bar in South Philly. It doesn't feel uncomfortable sitting down at a table with people of different colors, ideas and accents in West Philly. It doesn't get nervous walking through the historic streets of North Philly. And it certainly doesn't get embarrassed to work the crowd at some swanky Center City event.

It's a story that transcends all of those confines and tells the story of a people, not of a lifestyle or class. It's a story everyone can share.

What a Story Can Do

Philly Corner Stories creates community by inspiring people to tell their story of living in this great city. At our salons we recreate that family dinner table or front stoop where so many stories were told. And at our performance we give artistic voice to people who may not have one.

    We were blown away by the talents of the writers who spoke at this event! The extra special Woods' Edge Trio just provided the perfect mood for a night of laughter and good conversation.
    Thanks Philly Corner Stories for coming to our Space and reminding us of the beauty of story telling!
