Fort Stories

True stories. Brave Voices. Strong Communities.

Dogs and Other Tails

A Night of True Stories about the Wild and Not-So-Wild Animals in our Lives.

Join us for an inspiring evening of live storytelling featuring funny, heartfelt, and surprising stories about animals.

Let’s be honest — animals have better stories than we do.

The loyal ones.
The ridiculous ones.
The ones that broke your heart.

The one that stared you down on a trail and made you rethink your place in the food chain

Short. True. Told by you. Up to 7 Minutes.

Help Me Raise Money for The Street Dog Coalition

This night is a fundraiser for The Street Dog Coalition, whose mission is to provide free veterinary care for the pets of people experiencing homelessness.

We'll have stories from the organization. You’ll also be able to talk to their representatives and maybe even find a volunteer opportunity!

All proceeds will go to The Street Dog Coalition.

Introducing The Flash Story Lab!

This is our 3rd Fort Stories event, and the first time we’ll be doing The Flash Story Lab. Come with a story idea, and let’s figure it out in 30 minutes. It’s fun, challenging, and just a bit chaotic. It’s also FREE!!!

Most stories people tell aren’t stories—they’re just updates or anecdotes.

“I went hiking—it was beautiful.”

“Halfway up the trail, I realized I wasn’t going to make it down the same person.”
