A Bolt from the Blue: Curated Personal Story Evening - 6/12/26 — The Mopco Improv Theatre

A Bolt From the Blue:

Boom. Suddenly everything is different.

Honest tales about a moment in life where a completely unexpected event occurred that proved to be life-changing. Join us as we continue our series of curated personal story evenings with a lineup of real-life stories told by real people — poignant, funny, or heartwarming tales that showcase life’s pivotal moments.

Submissions are open! All submissions should be emailed to STORY@MOPCO.ORG with the subject line 'Story Submission' by May 1st at noon. Storytellers who are cast will be informed by May 15 and scheduled for a Zoom rehearsal call. The final roster of storytellers will be made public on or around May 26.

Submission requirements:
- A short (300 words maximum) written summary of the personal story
- Story should be approximately 7 - 9 minutes
- A 100 word or less bio of the storyteller, for promotion if their story is chosen
- A headshot (does not have to be a professional shot, but should be current and flattering)
- Any social media handles
- Contact information including email, phone number

All storytellers cast will receive a $30 Mopco gift card and a free drink of their choice as an honorarium.
