SpeakeasyDC’s Top Shelf: The Best Stories of the Year

FRI Jan 10 @9:30 Club
Doors open at 6.30 PM
Show starts at 7.30 PM

Don’t miss SpeakeasyDC’s 4th annual Top Shelf: The Best Stories of the Year. We’re thrilled to be back at the 9:30 Club for the second time and hope to pack the house again. Last year, lots of people were turned away at the door b/c we sold out well before they opened. So, plan ahead.

For those of you new to this show, we screen and score all the stories that have been told on the SpeakeasyDC stage over the last 12 months (Nov 2012 thru Oct 2013) — that’s over 125 stories. We — the SEDC faculty — narrow that down to 16 nominees which are then screened and scored by a panel of independent judges who determine the final 8.  See videos from last year’s show.

Tickets on sale NOW $22 + fees. 

NOTE: 9:30 Club uses a service with hefty fees, we know, but we have not control over that. If you’d like to save a bunch of money, go to the 9:30 Club box office (see hours).
