Authentic 10 Showcase 2025 - Authenticity Theater

From the venue:

The Authentic 10 Showcase is an incredible evening of short, but impactful stories that cover a wide range of relevant topics, like love and loss, dementia and the elderly, racial and cultural stereotypes, bullying, LGBTQ issues, and other real-life issues. Each night, the audience will cast ballots for the “Audience Choice Award” and help us acknowledge the best of the best for the writers.
