for Gotham Storytelling Festival 2026, coming this fall, we are going to have a theme, Stranger in a strange land. We want to hear stories about being where you are not from, as a traveler, an immigrant, an emigrant, an expat, a displaced person, or simply moving to the big city, or a small town.

If you have a story that fits this theme, then please fill out the form below with information about your show.

There is no application fee or participation fee for this festival, we want to hear from you.

The festival runs November 3-15 this coming Fall, at UNDER St. Marks Theater.

Applications are open now until July 15th.
