I‘m in, are you?

I know a bunch of storytellers who are more than just in, they’re all over IT.

“IT” is the mess that the patriarchy has created.

We’re pissed and we’re over IT. We’re here to create something new.

  • Will there be angry stories telling of the inequality we’ve endured for millennia?

  • Will we talk about the horrifying threat of withdrawal of the “rights” we’ve attained? Rights? How’s that for patriarchal? Someone granting US rights, as if we need permission to exist and thrive and pursue our dreams.

  • Will there be hopeful stories about what’s possible? The old dog-eat-dog, every man for himself nonsense has got to stop.

  • Will we talk about how patriarchy has systematically destroyed the planet, creating one war after another and leaving absolutely nothing good in its wake? Nothing except death, homelessness, starvation, trauma, ruined towns and cities, and the acquisition of what isn’t ours to take?

  • Will there be a story or two about unusual parents, decades ago, who empowered their daughters to aim high and go after their dreams instead of doing what everyone else does, because it’s expected by virtue of their sex?

  • Will we talk about how we can raise girls and boys as equals, supporting creativity, encouraging strength and gentleness, heart and vulnerability?

  • Will there be laughter? I’m planning on it. Whether it’s laughter that turns to tears, or tears that yield laughter, we’ll be together sharing the stories of our lives.

We won’t know what will be revealed until June 20th, so get your ticket and attend our next slam.

If you haven’t been to one yet, this is an opportunity to see what we’re made of.

At Wham! Bam! Thank You! Slam!, we don’t disappoint.
