We’re three scrappy friends who built In a Nutshell Storytelling from nothing and made it fly. However, the truth is that those three friends were lucky to find a great community of people who love storytelling and live entertainment. That’s YOU! All of you made this happen! Thank you for making this a hit from the first show! We're eager to keep this train ball rolling as far as we can.
We know you love In a Nutshell Storytelling, and you know your friends will love it too. You can always be the one who introduced them to this amazing show. Sounds good, right? You have our permission—our blessing even—to share the discount code: STORYFRIEND with your story friends. This code saves them 20% on tickets and helps get them out to the show. That's 20% off each ticket they buy, with no limit. Together, we can grow this and keep it going. Let's make Sacramento THE story town!
