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 is back for our second season!
Starting Sunday, October 4th, we’re back at Wenona once a month with true storytelling shows!
Last season, we sold out all but one show, so don't wait to grab your tickets for our October edition! We'll be featuring some of Toronto's best performers, telling stories about their younger selves... and there may even be some special surprises!
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 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.
