Toronto’s newest monthly storytelling show!
Hosted by Ronit Rubinstein and Panagiota Vogdou, The Yarn features performers telling funny, moving, and unforgettable true stories from their lives.
Fend off the Sunday scaries with us! Our show is on the second Sunday night of most months, 7:30pm at Wenona (1069 Bloor St. West), in the downstairs space.
New audiences and new storytellers always welcome!
Our next show:
The Yarn Storytelling presents: Secrets & Lies
Sunday, November 8th, we’re back at Wenona!
After a sold-out October show, we’re continuing with our second season of true storytelling shows! This month we have a really special mix of stories, from the hilarious to the heartbreaking, about the the lies that covered up the truth, or the stories that were never meant to be told.
Hosted by Panagiota Vogdou and Ronit Rubinstein, we'll also have stories by:
Kal Phodkar
Kennedy Thompson
Sachin Sharma
Steve Austin
Susan Fischer
Please note: Wenona opens at 7pm, and we will open the venue downstairs as soon as we are set up. Come by at 7pm for a drink at the bar before showtime!
Storytelling Workshops on Writing & Performance
At our June show, we announced a summer series of storytelling workshops... and before we could even sort out the logistics, we'd filled all the spots! We had a lovely four weeks this past summer, working on some really special stories… Look out for several of the participants, who’ll be featured on our second season of shows!
If you're interested interested in a future workshop series (most likely running in January/February 2027) please shoot us an email at theyarntoronto@gmail.com.
Land Acknowledgement
This show happens on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat people, and the current home of many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.
Our team consists of a child of immigrants, and an immigrant to Canada, so we are particularly grateful to the traditional caretakers of this land, where we live, tell, and hear stories. You can learn a bit more about the richly developed tradition of indigenous storytelling here, and donate to the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto here.
