The Des Moines Storytellers Project is back in 2024. How to get tickets or tell a story
The Des Moines Storytellers Project will be back in 2024 with its seventh season — and it's already casting for the first show.
The themes next year are:
Community — Feb. 27
Travel — June 18
Overcoming — Oct. 22
Each show is held at 7 p.m. at the beautiful, historic Hoyt Sherman Place, 1501 Woodland Ave.
The Des Moines Storytellers Project is a series of storytelling events in which community members work with Register journalists to tell true, first-person stories live on stage. The project is dedicated to the idea that oral storytelling and journalism have the same goals: Serving and reflecting a community while fostering empathy.
It started in 2016 and has presented more than 200 stories across more than 35 shows.
A season ticket package is $36 or $81 for VIP. Packages go on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 12. Tickets for individual shows, which cost $14 or $30 for VIP, go on sale Jan. 16.
All VIP tickets include premium seating, a drink ticket and a treat for each show.
Tickets will be available to purchase at DesMoinesRegister.com/Storytellers, via Ticketmaster or at the Hoyt Sherman Place box office. Questions can be directed to events@dmreg.com or 515-619-6548.
Tell your story at the Des Moines Storytellers Project
The Des Moines Storytellers Project strongly believes that everyone HAS a story and everyone CAN tell it. None of the storytellers who take our stage are professionals. They are your neighbors, friends or co-workers, and they are coached to tell by Register journalists.
We are seeking Iowans who want to share their stories of community on Feb. 27. Read our guidelines and submit a story at DesMoinesRegister.com/Tell. Submissions are due Dec. 17.
Interested storytellers for the June or October shows also can submit their stories online.
