Story District

Story District’s mission is to build community, promote empathy, and enrich an understanding of our common humanity through the art of autobiographical storytelling.  Through our classes and live performances we train and showcase storytelling talent in the Washington, DC area and create a platform for diverse perspectives.

Named the “gold standard” in storytelling by the Washington Post and nominated for the 2012 DC Mayor’s Arts Awards for Innovation in the Arts, Story District reaches an audience of more than 10,000 annually through the production of more than 25 performances, ongoing adult education classes, and custom trainings and performances for businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies. We value storytelling as a space for people to listen and be heard, connect with others, embrace different perspectives, examine their own lives, and explore what it means to be human.
