Backyard Story Night

Started in Austin, TX, Backyard Story Night is the brainchild of John Brewster and Meg Mattingly. Now we’re experimenting with Dallas story telling events!

Backyard Story Night has been going strong for over 4 years! The goal is simple: gather friends – and friends of friends – in a backyard to share real, unrehearsed stories.

If you’re a storyteller or you love to enjoy a good tale, BSN is for you!

Want to tell a story? Awesome! You don’t have to be a professional to jump on this opportunity.

Our theme for this event is, “The First Time I…”
So any story told will relate somehow to this statement or idea.

To sign up to tell a story, please click here.

Otherwise mark Sept 24th in your calendar, and get ready for a fun night of storytelling. Please note: this event is ideal for 18+, as the stories have not been vetted or rehearsed.

**Since parking is tight – we encourage walking, biking, Ubering, or carpooling!
