The 6th annual Finding Our Way, a live storytelling event to benefit Wayfinder Schools, will be held Friday, May 1, at 7 p.m., at the Camden Opera House. 

This year’s event features 12 Maine storytellers, including three Wayfinder graduates, who will share funny, poignant, and heartfelt “moth-style” stories live from the stage, according to Wayfinder, in a news release. 

This year’s speakers include novelist Ellen Baker; poet and Thoreau scholar Kristen Case; writer and educator Susan Conley; novelist Tess Gerritsen; poet and Camden Opera House manager Dave Morrison; writer and outdoor guide Jenny O’Connell; writer, musician and teacher Dave Patterson; novelist and mother Caitlin Shetterly; poet and Colby College professor Arisa White; and Wayfinder grads Rebecca Doyle, Lindsey Hinkley and Jaimy Saenz.

Actor, writer, and producer Andrea Itkin will serve as emcee for the show.

Davis, Bangor Savings Bank, Down East Magazine, Machias Savings Bank, Clark Insurance, Gusco Consulting, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, and Delta Dental, with additional support from the Lord Camden Inn, American Flatbread, Bleecker & Greer, Atlantic Baking Co., Print Bookstore and the Vintage Room at 16 Bayview.
