A storytelling workshop-show for live-storytellers, new or seasoned, looking to experiment and receive feedback on ANY 8-10 min true story, no matter where it might be in its development. Unfinished stories are especially welcomed. The messier the better!

Trying to find a clear beginning, middle and/or end to your story? Have too much/not enough narrative summary or scenes? Want to see if you can talk more about how you feel throughout your story? Maybe you want to revisit one of your older stories and experiment with a new form? Workout any and all of this at Fail Better Story Time!

We Offer
*A stage
*8-10 mins
*A supportive audience of fellow storytellers

​Optional Resources
*Notes for reference are welcomed.
*Free Video Recording for future edits of your story or to pitch to another show.
*Little extra time - Depending on the size of the lineup, occasional opportunities for more time may be available. Perhaps you need to prep for an upcoming longer set at another show (like RISK!) or your own one person show. Email us for more details.
*Story Status - Before telling, share with us the current development stage of your story. For example, tell us you have no ending and you wanna see if one comes up as you tell. Or tell us it's a revisited story and you're trying out a new approach. It might inform our reactions throughout as well as the optional Feedback Discussion.
*Popcorn - A quick one word or sentence reaction from everyone in the room to gauge initial/visceral responses.
*Feedback Discussion - As practiced in Show & Tell, we facilitate a brief round of responses from the room according to your needs.

All Stories Welcomed
In fostering an accessible space for all new works, we do not vet any of the stories and have no idea what they will be...so tone and content will vary, fair warning.

Fail Better Story Time is FREE and open to the public.

 Hosted by our Managing Director and live-storyteller, Christopher Moncayo-Torres
