The 2027 VAMP and Long Story Short themes are here!

You know that feeling when you’re with friends and you’re telling a story? The room feels like it’s orbiting around you. Tilted in your direction. People have quieted down and everyone’s looking at you and listening because you are absolutely locked in. You’ve got this. You’ve got the crowd. You’re doing this thing where you’re building tension, using repetition, dramatic pauses. And while you’re sort of doing it intuitively, you also have an awareness of it. It feels natural and creative all at once, like you’ve unlocked some kind of primordial skill you kind of knew you had the whole time.

Storytellers on our stages in 2026 experienced this. And you can too. We are proud to announce the themes for 2027 in So Say We All storytelling right now.

Stay tuned for individual show entries on our Upcoming Events page, complete with those tantalizing submission page buttons.

Keep writing. Keep telling your stories. See you on stage next year.
