Ex Fabula is celebrating its 15th Season by bringing brand-new storytelling programming to the Milwaukee area!
Ex Fabula’s StorySlams are live events featuring true, personal stories from community members. Some stories are told onstage, and others are UltraShorts written by audience members and read by the emcee. At each Slam, any attendee can throw their name in the hat for the chance to share a true, personal story on the night’s theme. Stories should be shared in 5 minutes or less and without any props or notes.
Season 15 is an important milestone for Ex Fabula! To celebrate, Ex Fabula brings a full calendar of public events, including 4 competitive StorySlams in 4 different neighborhoods, brand-new programs like a collaboration with HYFIN that centers Black and Brown voices, and classic Ex Fabula events like the All Ages StorySlam. Every competitive StorySlam will have an hour-long pre-Slam workshop at 5:15 pm where storytellers can practice with each other.
For Fall 2023, event dates, themes, and locations are:
• Tues. Sept. 19th @ 7pm / StorySlam: Awkward / Sugar Maple
