The Naked Stage

Celebrating 11 Years of Naked Stage

The Naked Stage is back and better than ever! Union is excited to share a new vision statement for our beloved storytelling program. This vision statement serves as a foundation for the Naked Stage, sets an inclusive purpose for our storytelling, and provides clear direction for the future.

The Naked Stage at Union is a home where we tell our stories, share our perspectives, and embrace our vulnerabilities with an audience eager to listen.

The Naked Stage hosts story-telling and spoken word. We encourage brave vulnerability by asking people to tell their stories without screens, notes or props: Naked. On any given night, stories and poems will range from funny to inspiring to sentimental. Our audiences are supportive. Our stage is full of grace and passion. Our story-tellers are honest and brave.
