IN A NUTSHELL: Storytelling Series
If you love The Moth, solo theater, stand-up, or just great storytelling, this is your new favorite night out.
Each performance features four different storytellers sharing carefully curated stories that are memorized, thoughtfully crafted, and performed live. With a new theme every month, no two shows are ever the same, making each evening a fresh and unique experience. It’s the perfect choice for a night out with friends, a memorable date, or even the whole family, depending on the theme. Best of all, attending supports local artists and helps strengthen Sacramento’s vibrant storytelling community.
In a Nutshell is hosted and curated by storytelling comedian Keith Lowell Jensen, book editor Amy Bee, and author Aaron Carnes, three friends who want nothing more than to give humans laughter, insight, and the full spectrum of emotion from the absolute best live storytellers in the universe — that’s all. Come and get what you need, human! You deserve to connect, reflect, and celebrate the power of live storytelling. You are welcome here!
