WILDCARD! True Stories Told Live By YOU (Sep 16)

Hey, Sacramento. We're back. 🎙️

​WILDCARD! is happening Wednesday, September 16, and we really, truly want you there.

​Here's how this works now: eight names get pulled from the NOT HAT. Eight storytellers get up and tell their truth with craft and intention. And at the end of the night, the storytellers themselves vote for their favorite story. The winner takes home $50 and a featured spot at the next show.

​It's part open mic, part StorySLAM, part something Sacramento has never quite seen before. And it keeps getting better.

​True stories, told live, by you. With stakes! We love it.

Our Featured Storyteller:

Frances Southwick—Frances is a friendly family doctor, storyteller, and nonfiction writer who lives in Davis with their wife, Judith, and two gray cats, Bobby and Small. They won last month's NOT HAT competition and are back, as promised, with a feature spot.

​Their story? A rootin' tootin' childhood tale from the Colorado Wild West.

​We love everything about this. Come find out why.

​And of course, the NOT HAT.

​Eight storytellers drawn from the NOT HAT. Eight minutes. True stories. Come early to sign up — spots fill fast.

​Some people tell their first story at WILDCARD. Others come back month after month to stretch their craft, compete for the prize, or just be part of a room where humans actually listen to each other.

​Either way, you belong here.
