In collaboration with HYFIN, this evening of live spoken word, poetry, and storytelling celebrates Black and Brown voices and brings together a blend of curated speakers with storytellers drawn from the audience.
This edition of AfterDark: For the Culture is a competitive StorySlam! At the end of the night, the audience votes by secret ballot to crown an Audience Favorite, who will be invited to share a story at ALL STARS in May.
Throughout the night, you can also submit an UltraShort. These are short stories (a few sentences) on the night’s theme that the emcee reads on stage. (They can be anonymous!)
Date: Thursday, April 9
Time: Doors open at 6pm, stories begin at 7pm
Location: Radio Milwaukee, 220 E Pittsburgh Ave, Milwaukee, WI 53204
Cost: Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
Limited Pay-it-forward tickets available!
