Ex Fabula Membership

Levels and benefits

Learn how to gift a membership!

Your Membership:

Helps amplify underrepresented voices and stories – through affinity group storytelling workshops, community collaborations, and free tickets for folks that couldn’t afford them. These efforts help more Milwaukeeans to meaningfully connect through personal stories – but don’t take it from us! As one participant said, “Breaching barriers between strangers in your community can be hard. Ex Fabula offers a safe, meaningful way to do that.”

Since Ex Fabula is a 501(c)(3) organization, all or part of your gift may be tax-deductible as a charitable contribution depending on the value of the benefits used.  Please check with your tax advisor.

F. A. Q.

How long is my membership valid?

Memberships are valid for 12 months. Then you renew, so you don’t miss out!

Do your events have age restrictions?

It varies. Some events are held in bars (21+), while other venues like Turner Hall allow minors. In either case, stories may contain adult content, so please use your discretion.

How do I use my StorySlam tickets?

• Members are issued credits, aka coupons, that they can use to reserve advance tickets to StorySlams. Then, check in at Will Call at least 15 minutes before showtime.
• Or, you can show up and check-in with Will Call to use your member credit, provided that there is still room.
• Either way, consider arriving early, as seating is General Admission.

What’s an EXperience?

These are intimate, experiential events that are free for members; the general public can purchase tickets, though they cost more than our regular Slams. They include some pre-confirmed stories, some spots for audience stories, and unique activities like games or tours. Some go behind the scenes of unique Milwaukee locations like Bryant’s Cocktail Lounge, and others explore interesting themes.

Can I bring guests to events with me?

Absolutely! If you have enough member credit for 6 tickets, you can reserve yourself a ticket for 6 events, use it all at one event with 5 friends, or anything in between.

How can I give a membership to someone else?

Aww, you’re so generous and thoughtful! Just select the membership you’d like to gift, and then include the following details in the notes field at checkout:

• Recipient name, address, phone and email
• Where we should send the member welcome packet – to you or to the gift recipient?
• If we’re mailing to the recipient, is there a message you’d like us to include?
• Would you like this to arrive as soon as possible, or only after a certain date?

We will manually transfer the membership to your recipient, send you a tax form, and send out a member welcome packet however you indicated that we should.

Are these benefits subject to change?

Wow, are you a lawyer? Good question. As it happens, yes, they are subject to change.

How do the Guest passes work?

You’ll receive a coupon code that you can give to a friend, so they can reserve a free ticket to a Slam – even if you’re not going.

Can I give my member benefits to someone else?

Sorry, member benefits are not transferable – except for the Guest passes. But, you can gift a new membership to someone! See above for details.
