Every great story starts somewhere. Join Gearn for an evening of storytelling in partnership with The Salt Lake Book Festival.

This storytelling event centers around the theme: “Chapter One.” From fresh beginnings and unexpected pivots to the moments that quietly changed everything, this gathering is about the stories that shape who we become.

Spend the evening listening to honest, personal stories shared in community — stories that inspire reflection, spark connection, and remind us how much we all carry in common.

Come listen.
Come connect.
Come be part of a room filled with meaningful conversation, creativity, and community.

Whether you’re a storyteller, a listener, or simply curious, there’s a seat for you. Bring a friend, stay awhile, and join us for a night centered around new beginnings, shared experiences, and the power of storytelling.

Want to share your story? Story selection is happening now through May 29. Submit yours here.

50% of proceeds from this event will be donated to The Salt Lake Book Festival, taking place at The Gateway on October 17; mark your calendars.
