Hello storytelling fans!
Elysha and I hope your summer is coming to a lovely, peaceful end and that the autumn is looking bright and beautiful for you all.
We didn’t have any shows this summer, other than a “Matt and Jeni Are Unprepared” in lovely New Milford, CT, but we have lots of shows coming up in the fall, and dates, themes, and tickets are now available.
Want to tell a story?
Check out the themes and send us a one-paragraph pitch that summarizes your story — beginning, middle, and end.
We are looking for storytellers for our October 17 and December 5 shows.
Send your pitch to speakupstorytelling@gmail.com
Deadline for casting is SEPTEMBER 1.
