Strangers On A…: Stories of Unforgettable Encounters: Creepy, Magical, Dangerous, or Life-Changing
Ex Fabula StorySlams are live events where community members connect and share true, personal stories related to the night’s theme, told without props or notes.
Come to listen – or throw your name in the hat for a chance to share a true story related to the theme of “Strangers On A…” This theme was inspired by the play SWITZERLAND about famed crime novelist Patricia Highsmith, author of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. SWITZERLAND is being performed by Renaissance Theaterworks October 19 – November 9, 2025.
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.
The audience can also be a part of the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts! These are “ultra-short” stories on the night’s theme that will be read onstage by the emcee.
Cost: $12 advance / $15 at the door if tickets remain.
Limited Pay-it-forward tickets available!
Want to practice your story before the slam? Join us for the StoryStarter workshop from 5:15-6:15pm right before the event! Visit exfabula.org for more information.
