Do You Want to Hear a Story?
In a Nutshell LIVE Storytelling has two shows!
In a Nutshell LIVE Storytelling is the best event happening in Sacramento! Every month, we roll out the red carpet for four fabulous storytellers from all corners of life to spin a (mostly) true tale LIVE based on a prompt or theme. Join us for an unforgettable storytelling experience, humans!


WILDCARD! is our new monthly story swap, a fun and unpredictable evening of stories with two featured storytellers and the chance for random audience members to opt in and tell a tale (up to 10 mins). For old pros, newcomers, and randos alike. ALL ARE WELCOME TO BE ENTERTAINED!
