Bar Stories Live On Stage--Tacoma

**How the Night Works**

We don’t do a Sign-Up Sheet.

In fact, when the show starts, we have no idea who’s going to share. And honestly? That’s half the fun!

Some of you came tonight with a story you’ve been workshopping—maybe for a more curated, respectable, “serious” storytelling show. Others are waiting for the right moment, the right spark, the right *thing someone says* to jog a memory loose. And then there are those of you who swore—swore!—you’d just be watching. (You’re the ones we’re betting will end up on stage before the night’s through.)

There’s no set lineup, no order, no “your turn is coming”—because that’s not how bar stories work. The real magic happens in the in-between moments. One story triggers another.

You raise your hand. You come up. Y
