Emerald Coast Storytellers recently announced their latest event that marries the joy of sharing stories with the intimacy of a carefully curated dining experience. On November 16 at 6 p.m., the picturesque Henderson Beach Resort will be the backdrop for an unforgettable evening of human connection and culinary delight.
The concept, a first of its kind, intertwines the age-old traditions of live, communal storytelling and the pleasure of savoring a delicious meal among strangers turned friends.
Each course will be accompanied by tales spun around the theme of “Letters to Our Younger Selves,” aiming to transport attendees on a journey through time, peppered with personal anecdotes, life lessons, and nostalgic reflections, reminding us all of what it means to be human.
In addition to a fabulous prix fixe menu from The Henderson, featuring entrée choices like butter-seared beef tenderloin, goat cheese-crusted chicken, and a free-form lasagna with local vegetables, local storytellers will be handpicked to share their prose, poetry, and spoken tales.
All of this will lead to the night’s Featured Storyteller, Abe Partridge, a heralded musician, singer-songwriter, visual artist, and podcaster based in Mobile, Alabama. Regarded by American Songwriter Magazine as “one of the most respected songwriters and visual folk artists in the southeast,” Partridge will offer a glimpse into his own inspiring journey.
