PORTLAND — Slant, a live storytelling series, will return to Space Gallery at 7:30 p.m. today.

Modeled after “The Moth,” Slant features six brave souls telling 10-minute tales without notes or scripts. This free event is curated and hosted by The Telling Room, Portland’s community writing center.

The theme for this session is “sure to be interpreted in numerous and interesting ways.” Speakers will include food critic and television host Joe Ricchio; Maine Women’s Fund interim director Cathy Kidman; Maine Medical Center physician Renee Fay- LeBlanc; and The Telling Room communications coordinator Andrew Griswold.

Doors open at 7 p.m.

The Telling Room is a nonprofit writing center in Portland, dedicated to “the idea that children and young adults are natural storytellers,” a release from the organization states. More information is available at www.tellingroom.org.
