What is SpeakeasyDC

At SpeakeasyDC, we tell stories — true, autobiographical stories. We produce about 25 original live storytelling shows a year, and offer over a dozen classes and private coaching to those who wish to learn. Storytelling can be interpreted in many ways. At SpeakeasyDC, we define it as such:

• Storytelling is an oral art, so we share our stories in front of an audience without notes. It’s a telling, not  not a reading.
• Our stories are autobiographical which means they are true, original, and first-person. It’s not fiction or folktale.
• Our stories have a narrative arc which, in a nutshell, means there are characters and a plot.  It is not an essay, a series of jokes, or poetry.
