True Stories. Brave Voices. Strong Community.

One unforgettable night in Fort Collins.
Theme: RIVER
Welcome to Fort Stories—a live storytelling event based right here in Fort Collins where community courage and connection come together for an unexpected evening. This isn’t a performance. It’s a gathering. A night to share and hear true personal stories told live by everyday people—maybe even you.
Each event features a new theme and this time we’re flowing with “RIVER.”
A river you swam in.
A river you crossed.
A river of change grief adventure or love.
Cry me a river.
Whatever “river” means to you—we want to hear it.
Thinking about telling a story?
You don’t need to be a performer—just be real.
We welcome first-time storytellers. Storytelling audiences are known for their generosity and enthusiasm. And try to keep it under 7 minutes.
 
Stories must be:
✔️ True
✔️ About you
✔️ Inspired by the theme River
 
Come share or listen or both!
What to expect:
✔️ Brave real-life stories that make you feel
✔️ A friendly welcoming crowd
✔️ Laughter insight and maybe a few tears
✔️ A chance to connect—with yourself and your community
Nervous about telling a story? We’ve got you.
Check out our FREE!!! 3-hour storytelling workshop:
Tell It Like It Was: A Storytelling Workshop for the Brave the Shy and Everyone in Between
 
This hands-on class is perfect for anyone curious about telling a true story—whether you're preparing for Fort Stories or just want to explore the craft in a fun supportive setting. You’ll learn how to shape your story connect with an audience and feel more confident sharing your truth.
