Calling all storytellers:
Join City of Asylum and Story Club Pgh for a new monthly nonfiction storytelling series, mixing the spontaneity of an open mic with the experience of live theater. Organized and hosted by the former producers of The Moth Pittsburgh.
Storytelling traditions span across cultures, countries, and centuries. Stories bring us together to experience joy, wonderment, and intrigue—and they allow us to build deeper empathy and understanding. Plus they’re fun!
Every show has featured performers and spur-of-the-moment storytellers, all taking the stage to share stories based on a theme.
February’s theme: For the love of the game
