Strangers On A…: Stories of Unforgettable Encounters: Creepy, Magical, Dangerous, or Life-Changing

Time: 6:30pm doors, 7pm stories

Ex Fabula StorySlams are live events where community members connect and share true, personal stories related to the night’s theme, told without props or notes.

Come to listen – or throw your name in the hat for a chance to share a true story related to the theme of “Strangers On A…” This theme was inspired by the play Switzerland about famed crime novelist Patricia Highsmith, author of Strangers on a Train. Switzerland is being performed by Renaissance Theaterworks October 19 – November 9, 2025.

At the end of the night, the audience votes by secret ballot to crown an Audience Favorite, who will be invited to share a story at ALL STARS in May.

The audience can also be a part of the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts! These are “ultra-short” stories on the night’s theme that will be read onstage by the emcee.

Want to practice your story before the slam? Join us for the StoryStarter workshop from 5:15-6:15pm right before the event!
