Celebrating the voices of our community's young people!

Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Time: 3:30PM doors, 4PM stories Location: Mitchell Street Library, 906 W Historic Mitchell St, Milwaukee, WI 53204 Advance RSVP is now closed—please visit the Will Call table to register and check in! Ex Fabula StorySlams are live events where community members connect and share true, personal stories related to the night’s theme, told without props or notes. For our Teen StorySlams, the stage is reserved exclusively for young storytellers, but all are welcome to attend! The audience can be a part of the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts. These are “ultra-short” stories on the night’s theme that will be read onstage by the emcee. At the end of the night, the audience votes by secret ballot to choose an Audience Favorite and our secret judges will select a Judges Favorite! Teen storytellers receive a cash stipend for their efforts. Interested in participating? Visit the Storyteller Wrangler table at the event!
