 Upcoming Stories on the Lawn

 

Stories on the Lawn is a series that invites local Austin storytellers and comedians to share personal stories at the Neill-Cochran House Museum. Events take place on the second Thursday of March, May, September, and November, and each show has a unique theme.

These storytelling events are usually held outdoors on the NCHM front lawn (weather permitting) with our storytellers speaking from the grand NCHM Front Porch. The setting is magical and stories range from hilarious to poignant to heartbreaking. Don’t miss this crowd pleasing series celebrating the power of sharing our truths.

Tequila 512 is the exclusive liquor sponsor of Stories on the Lawn. We are grateful for their support of great Austin stories!
