Real Stories, Real Women, One Powerful Night.
About this Event

This show isn’t polite. It’s personal.

She Comes First is Story District’s annual night of true stories told by women — bold, funny, complicated, honest, and sometimes all at once.

You’ll hear voices across generations and backgrounds.

It’s not just a show. It’s a space where real experiences get the mic and connection happens in every story.


Why Come?
  • A powerful lineup of women telling it like it is.
  • Stories that bring humor, depth, and real life to the stage.
  • A community that values authenticity and amplifies voices that need to be heard.
