IRON SKIRT STORIES SALON
A communal night of storytelling of true and personal tales.
Welcome to the Iron Skirt Stories Salon! At The Salon we invite you to attend an in-person event where seven women will read ten minutes of a true story they have written. The Salon is an opportunity for people to gather and form community and support your fellow women artists!
You might be asking, how is this different from Iron Skirt Stories? Well, The Salon is a casual version of that. It will not be a full production, however, the pieces you will hear will have been curated and the women reading them will have had an opportunity to work with our guest dramaturge. But overall,The Salon is meant for sharing art and gathering in-person to build community and to have fun!
The Salon will be $10 and will have a bar! So plan on having a good time!
How to Get in on the Action!

- Stories should be between 7-10 minutes maximum (around 1500 words).
- Plan to be on a stage with a music stand presenting your story to a live audience.

- Once received we will send you a confirmation email.
- If you are chosen for this round we will reach out to you.
- If you are not chosen for this round, we will hold onto your piece for another round!
If Chosen:
