Who else is super excited about Capital Storytelling's show tonight in Elk Grove?

We're getting much praise from last Friday's show. Thanks so much for packing the place out and for creating a space where the storytellers feel safe getting real with you.

February 28th has been declared as an economic blackout, a boycott, a day to buy nothing in protest of the current administration and their reckless, destructive, racist policies.

We support this.

We booked these shows months ago and hired storytellers, some of whom are traveling a great distance.

So, how do we honor this effort and respect our artists, the nonprofit venue that houses us, and our own independent, local series?

Well, one option is to buy your tickets in advance. And then, you can proceed to buy nothing on February 28th.

We will have our merch table up as usual, but only to share information and say hello.

We will not sell books or other merch.

To honor the February 28 BUY NOTHING protest while respecting our artists, the nonprofit venue that houses us, & our own independent, local series we suggest buying your tickets in advance. Then buy nothing on 2/28.
We will refrain from selling merch at this show.
