Speak Up: Do-Overs

About this event

Come to the Museum for an unforgettable evening of live storytelling, where talented storytellers share true, personal stories drawn from real life. The night is led by Matthew Dicks, a 62-time Moth StorySLAM Champion and 10-time GrandSLAM Champion, and features a dynamic cast of voices bringing bold stories to the stage. Everyone deserves a second chance—but not every second chance turns out the way we expect. On October 17, National Mulligan Day, Speak Up returns with “Do-Overs” — true stories of do-overs, fresh starts, unlikely comebacks, hard-earned forgiveness, and the moments when life offered one more opportunity to get it right—or spectacularly wrong. Join us for an evening of funny, heartbreaking, and unforgettable stories about the chances we gave, the chances we took, and the ones we never thought we’d get. Hosted by Elysha Dicks. Doors open at 6:00 pm; come early to view our exhibitions, including Rebellious and Drawn Here: Stories from Hartford’s North End. Performance starts at 7:00 pm. Snacks, soft drinks, and wine included! Tickets must be purchased in advance online.
