StorySALOON aims to grow the audience for Australian short stories by curating select published works and platforming them on stage as well as on air via a weekly podcast. The organisation is planning its second event, with several more to come.
Jane Messer, Founder, Chief Saloonist and host of the shows, says: “We were thrilled by how much our audience loved this format of short stories read by actors. Our first show in April sold out in under a week, and people are returning for the 6 May 2025 show. StorySALOON is designed to transport you into the world of the story, while having a fun, inexpensive night out. Our first show proved our recipe works.”
