We’re three scrappy friends who built In a Nutshell Storytelling from nothing and made it fly. However, the truth is that we 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.
Well, thanks for hanging with us, Sacramento story lovers and beyond. We can’t wait to see you (and every single person you know!) on HALLOWEEN EVE, October 30, at the gorgeous Sofia Theatre.
Until then, keep telling your stories to each other, and we’ll see you soon.
Thank you,
