WILDCARD exists so storytellers can practice, experiment, flail a little, learn what works, and get more comfortable with an audience. Some people come to tell a story for the first time. Others come to test new material, stretch their storytelling muscles, or work toward longer sets at In a Nutshell Storytelling and beyond.

WILDCARD is hosted by Keith Lowell Jensen, with Amy Bee as storyteller-in-residence, and produced by the In a Nutshell team. We’re building a real, in-person storytelling community here in Sacramento, and you’re invited to be part of it, whether you tell a story or just come listen.

Come put your name in the NOT HAT.
Or come cheer for the people brave enough to do it.

Either way, you belong here.
