CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN'S STORIES TO BE HEARD!
The Story Sharing Showcase is your chance to take the spotlight and tell your story from the stage! We’re looking for 10 extraordinary women to bravely take the stage and share their own stories of triumph, courage, and resilience on our conference stage. This is your chance to tell your story to a supportive and excited audience.
This is more than just an open mic—it’s an opportunity to inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impact. We invite you to share your best story idea with us. If selected, you'll receive 7 minutes and a microphone to tell your story at the showcase.
Approved applicants will get 7 minutes on stage, a live audience made up of showcase registrants, time with storyteller Heidi Esther for a one-on-one story prep session, consideration for casting in one of TWSS shows*, rehearsal time during the conference, and the option of a professional video recording of your performance.
The application is now open, and we can’t wait to see the incredible stories you have to share. Seize this chance to be one of the 10 women who will make this year’s Story Sharing Showcase unforgettable.
Apply now and let your voice be heard!
These performances will be reviewed for possible casting in TWSS shows in Champaign-Urbana, Bloomington-Normal and Danville, IL though participation in the Story Sharing Showcase does not guarantee a spot in a future TWSS show.
