Hey, champ! Thanks for checking out Telltale. We are a monthly curated storytelling event for people that like to get vulnerable and take no shit. We are keen on connection, laughter, heartbreak, poignant moments, and community building.
At Telltale, you can expect about 8-10 performers—with a focus on queer/BIPOC folks— telling you a story, through a mix of comedy, stories, music, essays, and more. Your evening will likely include earnestness, curse words, enthusiasm, dark humor, connection....and sometimes something unexpected. So please come and remind yourself that the world is bigger than you think it is and that you're never alone. We are specifically focused on stories from people that can get vulnerable but also take no shit, fierce folks that know how to fight the good fight but also like naps and staying home most nights.
(Psssssst: There will be a very good raffle.)
This month's theme is "OOOOOOOO, Big Stretch!" AND IT IS ALL ABOUT DOGS. All the performers will have dogs on stage with them. The audience can bring dogs. There will be special dog merch. There will be special dog treats. The raffle prizes will be dog related. And most importantly, there will be a dog photographer there to take portraits of your tiny... or not so tiny.... friends. So snag a ticket now to join us for the cutest and most chaotic event of the summer.
Also, we have no room for any oppressive garbage. Don't even try, pal.
I think that covers it. I'll see you there. I think you’re very cool and the event will be better with you there. This community is better with you being part of it.
The space is outside, so dress accordingly. There's a step up/down into the space and into the bathroom. There's food carts across the street-feel free to bring a snack over! Seats are primarily picnic tables, so bring a camp chair if that's more comfortable for you.
