November's theme: "Home for the Holidays"

Prepare a five-minute story about embracing every aspect of the holiday season. From the chaos of family gatherings, an unexpected reunion, or a kick under the table to keep the peace. To the bustling meal preparations or take-out for one. The humor, the heartbreak, the tension, or nostalgia that connects you to your loved ones. Tell us about a moment that reveals what belonging—or not belonging—looks like. Cozy up and share the highs and lows that accompany the festivities. (Holiday stories from all seasons are welcome!)

  • When: Thursday, November 19 | Doors at 6:30 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m.
  • Where: The Grey Eagle in Asheville
  • Tickets: $17 via The Grey Eagle starting October 29
