We hope to see you on September 24 at 7 pm at Zoetropolis for this month’s story slam. The theme is Surprisingly Strong

Tickets are on sale now. Please visit our Tickets page to get yours.

Doors will open at 6:30 pm that evening, and we start telling stories at 7 pm.

What type of stories fit the theme Surprisingly Strong?

There are many surprisingly strong things in life—opinions, reactions, capabilities, attractions, hot sauce, dislikes, drinks, drugs, odors—and all of them have causes. And when we explain those causes, we are telling stories which are often Surprisingly Strong stories. And that’s exactly what we are looking for during this month’s story slam. Maybe we’ll hear about a weightlifter’s personal best heft. Or how a rookie cook learned the difference between a bulb and a clove of garlic. The permutations are, if not endless, Surprisingly Strong. So, pick one, tell your Surprisingly Strong story this month.

However you interpret this month's theme, we look forward to hearing your true stories. If you have a story, sign in at the table in the back of the theater when you arrive.
