🌉 Connect with Story June

(PDT, UTC-07) (PDT, UTC-07)

Groundfloor, 455 Valencia St, San Francisco

You don't have to be “good at storytelling.” Connect with Story isn't about perfect structure, polished delivery, or saying something profound on command. It’s about presence. It’s about listening, noticing what matters, and sharing what’s real.

Whether you dread the spotlight or are the first to grab the mic, you're a born storyteller. Stories are how humans relate, create, and inspire. After a decade of gathering at Connect with Story events it's clear; we have more storytelling skill than we realize. There is room here for quiet people, nervous people, expressive people, thoughtful people, and people who are still figuring out what they want to say.

Molly’s combination of care and coaching creates a safe space where you have the rare chance to play in ways that strengthen your story-muscles. Come try simple, low-stakes improv games, listen to our story-sharers, and reflect how their unique voice moved you. You might even be inspired to share your own 5-minute story.

When we gather it's all about curiosity, contribution, and connection. Because our voices matter, our story is a gift and connection is the key to unlock the best in us. Join us.

Story Support Lab✨ June 20th

(PDT, UTC-07) (PDT, UTC-07)

Verve Wellness Studio, 1231 Cortland Avenue , San Francisco

If you're tired of rigid public speaking rules and the pressure to be perfect, you're not alone — and you're in the right place. The most powerful stories aren't perfectly crafted; they're authentically delivered. More info and theory will only get you so far. At some point, you have to get on your feet and do the thing.

Join us to get grounded, be yourself, and have fun in the process. Molly's style is warm and welcoming. She brings decades of high-stakes experience while keeping the room low-pressure; an environment that makes you want to stretch and expand.

Story Support Labs are designed to help you bypass the performance trap using the proven 3Cs approach:

✨ Calibrate: (nervous system & energy) Somatic practices clear the "performance" fog and bring you back to your body — grounded and energized.

✨Connect: (safety & play) Improv and partner work in a space where it's safe to be real. A reminder that you're not alone in your struggles and growth doesn't happen in isolation.

✨ Create: (curiosity & storytelling) Practice authentic storytelling in a space that celebrates your quirks, your messy starts, and your real, human truths.

You'll leave with more presence and ease — not as a performer, but as a connected human being people can feel. These 3rd Saturday Story Support Labs are a great way to practice an upcoming pitch or plan what to share during 4th Wednesday Connect with Story events.

Come as you are. Bring your full self. Space is limited to keep it intimate.

After the Rainbow

Live Oak Theater, 1301 Shattuck , Berkeley

After the Rainbow is back for a limited 2-day run, first time ever in Berkeley, CA. Every show has sold out early, so get your tickets now! (2nd show in SF on Sunday.)

Midlife gets a dose of music and magic in this transformational take on Oz. Singer-songwriter Amy MacClain plays Dottie, stumbling along the faded brick road of life. She’s joined by a cast of re-imagined characters, all played by comic actor Molly Kittle. Be whisked away on a cyclone of laughter, introspection, and magic with original melodies, magical encounters, mystical revelations, and personal triumphs. A vibrant celebration of life's twists, turns, and the radiant possibilities awaiting all of us when we tap into consciousness, love, courage, and personal power. Emerge wiser and more inspired for your one precious life.

After the Rainbow returned from Scotland's 2024 Fringe Festival (the world's largest performance arts festival) with rave reviews. It was a monumental step for us, and we're thrilled to continue to share the show with you as it evolves.
