Pitch your story

Named the “gold standard” in storytelling by the Washington Post, voted one of the top 3 open mics in DC by the Washington City Paper, and nominated for the 2012 DC Mayor's Arts Awards for Innovation in the Arts, SpeakeasyDC is one of the most well-known and respected storytelling organizations in the country. Our monthly stoytelling series -- our first program -- has been taking place on the 2nd Tuesday of every month in Washington, DC since 1997. Over the years, we've added tons of other shows and events, but our monthly show remains SpeakeasyDC's backbone. Tonight's show, like all of our shows, will feature a mix of eight to ten first-time storytellers and regulars, who will take the stage to share their twist on the night's theme. And if you have a story to tell on this theme, pitch it to us! If you're story is selected, you'll have a rehearsal and the support of our most senior coach, Stephanie Garibaldi.

*Note* - seating is first-come-first-served. Arriving before 7:15 increases your chances of getting a seat. You may bring food in, but no outside beverages. We often have the DC BBQ Bus parked out front.
