Next show: Tuesday, April 14, 7pmET, at Joe’s Pub, NYC

Theme: “Rebellion”

Join us this April as we celebrate the rebels — the rule-breakers, the boundary-setters, the women and non-binary people who dared to do it differently.

Our multigenerational storytellers take the Joe's Pub stage to share true tales of rebellion: the career path they refused to follow; the expectation they shattered; the rule they broke that changed everything; the quiet no that set them free; or the loud, glorious moment they chose themselves over everyone else's opinion. Whether it's radical or subtle, our wise and witty storytellers will remind us that the most powerful thing we can do is live life on our own terms.

Don't miss New York's best storytelling night, presenting true stories told by women and non-binary performers across the generations, all celebrating the courage, freedom, and fierce joy of rebellion!
