Got a story brewing but not quite ready for the mic? SLOTH SHOP is your space to tinker, test, and trade ideas with fellow storytellers. Whether you’re fine-tuning for the next open mic, shaping a personal project, or just need a spark to get started, bring your rough drafts, half-baked ideas, or even a blank page.

Together, we’ll learn how to give (and take) constructive critique, explore the art of collaborative storytelling, and build stronger creative bonds in our community. No pressure, just play.

NEXT THEME: PRIDE & PREJUDICE

What does it mean to embrace your queerness in a world that often judges you for it? How have you navigated the tension between your pride and the prejudice you overcome? Whether it’s a story of defying expectations, challenging stereotypes, or reclaiming power, we want to hear how you’ve shaped your queer path. Come share your truth, laugh at the absurdities, and explore the complexity of love, identity, and belonging in a world that is always trying to label you.

WHAT ARE SLOTH EVENTS?

Slow down and listen in. THE SLOTH is our queer gathering for friends to share and shape stories inspired by our selected themes. Come to listen or come to tell. We welcome authentic tales, comedy, poetry, music, and any creative form you can put into compelling 5-minute shares.
