Story Luck

General Admission is $20. (Don't simply feast on stories and home cooked food.)

General admission

If you bring food, tickets are free day off. But the show regularly sells out. Buying this ticket guarantees you a seat. If you're worried about cooking food, showing up a hair after 6:30 and being sent home because we have sold out, this ticket is for you.

Bring Food for the Potluck Ticket

This is purely a donation. This will be our first time streaming the live event. We will be streaming @ https://www.facebook.org/StoryLuck and it'll be free to watch there.

We are selling these tickets to see if there's interest.
