🎤 Join us for an evening of raw storytelling at The Black Box! 🎠On October 14, we're opening our doors and bar at 5:30 PM, with stories kicking off promptly at 6:00 PM. Whether you're a seasoned storyteller or just someone with a tale to share, this is your stage. FAQ
Can I just come listen?
Yes please!!! The tellers love to have a big audience!
How long do we get?
You have seven minutes to tell. You'll get a 30 second warning at 6 1/2 minutes. You will be gently ushered off the stage at 7 1/2 minutes. ;)
Can my kids come? Does my story have to be "adult"?
This is a 21+ event. All kinds of stories are welcome.* You can curse if you want. You can tell hard stories. Life isn't all kittens and rainbows. But we like kitten stories too.
How much does it cost?
This is a donations based event. Suggested donation is $10 ticket here or buy a beverage at the venue, tipping our awesome bartenders of course!
How does it work?
The list is opened a half hour before the event starts. When your name is called, the stage is yours for seven minutes. We estimate that we have room for about 13 storytellers each night. If we hit the end of the list before the night is finished, we will open things up for another round of stories. If we don't get to everyone, you are guaranteed a spot the following month.

No hatin'. Only love.
