Wildcard! True Stories Told Live By You

WILDCARD! True Stories Told Live By You, An Open Mic Story Swap presented by In a Nutshell Storytelling

​Hey, Sacramento. We’re back.🎙️

​WILDCARD! is happening Wednesday, August 19, and we really, truly want you there.

​Here’s how this works now: eight names get pulled from the NOT HAT. Eight storytellers get up and tell their truth with craft and intention.

And at the end of the night, the storytellers themselves vote for their favorite story. The winner takes home $50 and a featured spot at the next show.

​It’s part open mic, part StorySLAM, part something Sacramento has never quite seen before. And it keeps getting better.

​True stories, told live, by you. With stakes!

We love it.

​Our Featured Storyteller:

Victoria Goldblatt— Victoria has been performing for over 20 years as an actor, playwright, and writer. She’s worked in film, commercials, community theater, storytelling, and voice-overs, and has won awards for her original work — including Best Director and People’s Choice for her play I Doubt It.

She’s also the former Casting Director for Stories on Stage Sacramento and a Neuroscience, Health, and Fitness Consultant, which is possibly the most interesting combination of credentials we’ve ever put on a WILDCARD poster.

​Her story for August 19th is about the day everything changed; a collision of the spiritual and the deeply personal that she’s asked us not to spoil. So we won’t.

What we will say is: you’re going to want to be in the room for this one.

​And of course, the NOT HAT.

​Eight storytellers drawn from the hat. Eight minutes.

True stories. Come early to sign up — spots fill fast.

​Some people tell their first story at WILDCARD. Others come back month after month to stretch their craft, compete for the prize, or just be part of a room where humans actually listen to each other.

​Either way, you belong here.

​“Anyone can step up to the mic. All we ask is that you step up with intentio
