Storytellers of Cedar Rapids

Overview

We’re thrilled to announce the second season of Storytellers of Cedar Rapids, a live storytelling series produced by Akwi Nji and Courtney Ball.
Rooted in the belief that stories connect us, this four-part series invites local voices to the stage to share true, personal stories inspired by themes drawn from Matthew 25’s core pillars: Learning, Nourishment, Shelter, and Community. Each evening is a celebration of vulnerability, truth, and the power of storytelling to create belonging.

Season Passes are on sale now through Sept. 3 (or until we sell out!)—get yours today to guarantee a seat at all four performances and save on ticket prices.
