Word of Mouth: True Stories Told Live

Doors Open 5:30 PM

Show Begins 6:15 PM

Theme: A Change Could Do You Good

Let the power of the spoken word entertain and transport you to a deeper understanding of yourself, your community, and the world. Join host Corey Rosen — veteran of The Moth, creator of Simply Said at the Lark Theater, and author of Your Story, Well Told — for the exciting debut of Word of Mouth, a storytelling series at the Sausalito Center For The Arts.

Each show brings together an enthusiastic audience of story lovers — some there to listen, and others brave enough to take the stage. The stories are short (just 5 minutes), absolutely true, and told without notes in the tradition of The Moth.

How it works:

Before the show begins, anyone in the audience who has a story to tell can drop their name into a storytelling hat at the door. During the show, 10 names will be randomly drawn, and those lucky storytellers will take the stage to share their story on the evening’s theme — this month: “Opening Night.”

Each story is scored by a panel of audience judges based on how well it connects to the theme, and the emotional or narrative impact it leaves. At the end of the night, the highest-scoring teller will be crowned our Word of Mouth Champion — with all the glory, bragging rights, and applause that go with it.

Whether you come to tell or just to listen, you’ll leave inspired, moved, and maybe even laughing through tears. It’s not a performance. It’s not a contest (okay, maybe a little). It’s a celebration of honesty, humor, and the simple magic of one human voice in a room full of others.

Come be part of the show. We promise you’ll be glad you did.
