Story Club PGH Story Slam: Family Secrets
November 21, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST
To live is to tell stories. Embracing that truth, Story Club Pittsburgh (created by the former producers of The Moth Pittsburgh), organizes and hosts a monthly nonfiction storytelling series at City of Asylum.
Storytelling is a tradition that spans across cultures, countries, and centuries. Stories have the ability to capture our hopes, dreams, and joys, as well as our sorrows and fears, so that we might share them with the world. Stories allow us to build deeper empathy and understanding, and help us uncover various truths of ourselves and others—whether we mean to or not.
Story Club Pittsburgh mixes the spontaneity of an open mic with the experience of live theater. Every show includes volunteer storytellers and featured performers who all take the stage to share stories based on a theme. The theme for November 2023 is Family Secrets.
You too can be a featured storyteller! Learn more here or sign up for an open mic slot at the slam.
