Anyone can tell a story!
We produce two different types of shows: The Monti and The Monti StorySLAM.
“I love both The Monti and The Monti StorySLAM.  When I want a guarantee of finely crafted narratives, I go to The Monti; when I want great stories that are raw and unexpected, I go to the SLAMs.  They’re perfect complements!”

Storytellers

The BEST live storytelling in the Southeast! Real people. Real stories.


* This event is a co-production between The Monti and Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University (celebrating 30 years).


We’ve all had those days, weeks, or months where nothing goes right, where the universe seems to be throwing curveballs left and right, and all you can do is laugh (or cry) at the chaos. From forgotten keys and spilled coffee to life-altering disasters, life has a way of turning into a hot mess when we least expect it. But sometimes, in the midst of the madness, we find a spark of clarity, a lesson, or even a little bit of joy. Join us as we embrace the beautiful messes that make us who we are, because sometimes the best stories come from the biggest disasters.


NOTE: This show has moved away from its previous theme, Up in Flames, out of sensitivity for those experiencing and affected by the wildfires in Los Angeles. Every theme is an opportunity to explore the compelling impact of life’s decisions, and we will undoubtedly circle back to this theme in the future.
