There are stories that entertain and then there are stories that make you pause, breathe, and say, “I needed that.” Coming to the Stage is holding space for both.

Join us for an immersive evening where storytelling becomes a shared human experience—raw, reflective, and beautifully unforgettable. Next year's theme, Baggage Claim, explores the things we carry—memories, mistakes, miracles, identities, or chapters we never expected but couldn’t avoid. Some weigh us down. Some lift us up. But all of it shapes who we become.

Six storytellers will take the stage and interpret the theme in their own way. Through poetry, comedy, spoken word, memoir, monologue, or something unclassifiable. Each story offers a truth, a lesson, and something the storyteller is deeply grateful for.

On this night, everyone is VIP. Every seat is the best seat. Every person belongs. Plus, we’re bringing premiere energy in a room full of very important people showing up as their fullest selves.

Expect laughter, goosebumps, connection, and maybe a moment that shifts something inside you. Because when someone finally stands up and claims their story, someone else remembers they still have one worth claiming too.
