Last night’s Shaggy Dog at The Carleton was a sold out success!

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible storytellers — Catherine, Lori, Susan, Stephanie, Elias, and Georgina — for sharing such raw, honest, and deeply human pieces of your lives. You gave the audience a true gift.

There’s something special about these evenings — the kind that stay with you long after you leave, sparking conversations and reflection.

We’ll be taking a few weeks to catch our breath before announcing the next event… but trust us, it’s coming.

In the meantime, if you’re interested in telling a story or have any questions, reach out at [email protected].

🚨 Hi all! Wondering if anyone who is coming on Thursday night is also interested in telling a story? If so, please get in touch (you can send a message or leave a comment on this post!). Unfortunately we have just had one person drop out last minute! It would be great to have one or two more storytellers for Thursday! 🚨
