Odyssey Storytelling

10/10/2026

August's Story Slam was such a hit... we're doing it again! 🎤🌾
Join us for Story Arts Stories: Harvest at Brick Box Brewery on Wednesday, November 4!
This time, we're exploring Harvest: Reap What You Sow.
We want to hear your true, personal 3-minute story about a time when things came together... or didn't.
🌾 A payoff after years of work
🌾 An unexpected consequence
🌾 A final hurrah
🌾 Knowing when to keep going or when to cut your losses
Whether your harvest was sweet, bittersweet, or downright disastrous, we want to hear about it.
🏆 Audience favorite stories win prizes, admission is free, and everyone is welcome.
📍 Brick Box Brewery
220 E. Broadway Blvd., Downtown Tucson
🗓 Wednesday, November 4
🕡 6:30 p.m.
No notes. No props. Just true stories told live.
Who's got a harvest story to share? 🌾🎙️

🎭 PROCESSION • Tuesday, October 20 (Show Full!)
Thank you, Tucson! We can't wait to share this incredible evening. Tickets are still available!

🧑‍💼 ADULTING • Tuesday, November 24
Stories about growing up, or realizing you're still figuring it out. We're accepting story pitches through October 19.

🔍 MYSTERY • Thursday, December 17
The unexplained, the unexpected, the secrets we keep, and the questions that never quite get answered. Story pitches accepted through November 15.

Have a true story that fits one of these themes? We'd love to hear it. Send a brief pitch to [email protected] for consideration.

It's no secret: Odyssey is continually evolving and growing in lockstep with the Tucson community. If you want to keep up with our improvements, sign up for our not-boring monthly-ish newsletter by going to our website. Here's a link to our most recent issue!

Join us for Dancing with Demons, an evening of true, personal stories about the things that haunt us, challenge us, tempt us, follow us, and sometimes teach us how to dance.

Miss Thursday’s show? The stories are all posted on our YouTube channel! Subscribe and follow to keep up with all our shows! Super special thanks to our volunteer videographer, Dave Ross.

Every month, six people are invited to tell ten minute personal stories on a theme to a live audience. The stories are not read or memorized, they are told from the life experiences and creativity of the teller.
