Telltale Presents: The 7th Annual "You Won't Get What You Want" show

Hey, champ! Thanks for checking out Telltale. We are a monthly curated storytelling event for people that like to get vulnerable and take no shit. We are keen on connection, laughter, heartbreak, poignant moments, and community building.

We are already half way through our 8th season! Holy moly!

At Telltale, you can expect about 8-10 performers--with a focus on queer/BIPOC folks-- telling you a story, through a mix of comedy, stories, music, essays, and more. Your evening will likely include honesty, curse words, enthusiasm, dark humor, connection....and sometimes something unexpected. So please come and remind yourself that the world is bigger than we remembered and that you're never alone. We are specifically focused on stories from people that can get vulnerable but also take no shit, fierce folks that know how to fight the good fight but also like naps and staying home most nights.

(Psssssst: There will be a very good raffle.)

This month's theme, for the 7th year in a row, is "You Won't Get What You Want" because.... i like to mock holidays, and honestly, this recent timeline has sort of been trash, and I'm not getting what I want at all. Is anyone?

Please note the following: 1) we encourage dressing up for the holidays at this show. What does that mean? Who knows. It could mean sequins and crushed velvet. Or maybe you want to dress up for a completely different holiday. Do whatever you want. 2) There will be an optional gift exchange during intermission. Wrap up a little something, put it in the pile, and grab something new. It can be a re-gift, a handmade thing, a letter wishing them luck in the new year, a mix cd, whatever. We just like to be adorable and festive out here, you know?

Location: Siren Theater. Chapel Theatre

Date: December 12th.

Doors: 7:00

Showtime: 7:30-9:30pmish.

Raffle Money will go towards keeping the show alive--buying merch, buying raffle prizes from local companies, paying for the website, etc.

The space: Bathrooms are all gender-less. There are no stairs in this venue. There's a beer/wine/cider bar run by the venue, that takes cash and cards. (Tip your bartender!) No food available. The chairs are sturdy, armless, but on the smaller side.

Also, we have no room for any oppressive garbage. Don't even try, pal.

I think that covers it. I'll see you there. I think you’re very cool and the event will be better with you there. I miss your damn face. This community is better with you being part of it.
