The Ant Hill The Ant Hill is Planet Ant Theatre's storytelling series. True stories told live, by you. All are welcome to Detroit's other live story event, The Ant Hill.

Hosted by the Planet Ant Community, The Ant Hill takes place in Hamtramck, MI. In the tradition of live storytelling events like the Moth, Risk or Snap Judgement, The Ant Hill brings storytellers to the stage with their own stories told live without notes. Each "teller" will get 7-10 minutes of time to bring their unique story to life based on a theme chosen by the community of hosts. To tell your story simply show up at The Planet Ant, sign up and go up.

We had a fun night for the theme of Pooling. Stories were told about Changing Diapers, finding relief using a Float Tank, and Spending $50 over the course of 3 hours to beat Metal Slug for 3 hours at Pinball Pete’s, then realizing you have no more allowance money.

Planning our next show now, we will keep you posted as always 😁

Making a much belated post about our March 2026 show. Life had caught up with the hosts in a big way raising a newborn and just lost track of time 😅

Today, we are thinking back to the last show and reflecting on the story notes made for our great storytellers. There were stories told about Mental and Emotional Insecurity, Feeling Brave to Tell a Story, and Realizing a Car Manufacturing Plant sounds a lot like Fast Food Burgers being made. We do appreciate the folks that turned out for that show.

Lastly and very importantly, we’d like to that the staff of the Ant. Recalling the show 3 months ago, our colleagues there did a lovely job setting up the space for us.

The Ant Hill storytellers are still around and hope to have a show again soon. Thanks for your patience. Here’s a picture of the brilliant stage setup we had to perform on in March.

Had a great time closing out the year with our Ant Hill family on Wednesday. To the 10 folks that turned out, we appreciate the stories you shared about getting grounded as kid, the mental fortitude to stay grounded in difficult challenges running an auto parts store, and so many other great stories.

Big shout out to Lauren, Mike, Jen, and Ed for helping to run the show. Each of you have been a big support from facilitation, theme creation and providing a helping hand throughout the year.

Much love to all, enjoy the time with your families near, far or newly made here in Detroit 🥰

There’s a new poster around town ☺️

We are reflecting on 2025. Back in September a wonderful local artist and friend to the Ant Hill helped us create an Ant Hill poster. This person deserves a special thanks, thanks Melissa Dettloff. If you’re interested in her art or attending a print making workshop (like we did), you can her work at POST Detroit or at her website: https://www.melissadettloff.com

Fun fact, the print shows up under black light💡🤩
