Hi-ho, hi-ho, it’s off to work FST! goes! This month, FST! Female StoryTellers presents our most professional tales—from the janitor’s closet to the espresso machine to the glass ceiling and beyond, the women of FST! will share our funniest stories about the things we’ve done—or keep on doing—to make our daily wage. Punch your humpday timecard and head on over to Flycatcher

FST! Female StoryTellers is a community of women in Tucson, AZ dedicated to expressing creativity through storytelling. FST! was founded in 2012 as a platform and showcase for the smart, talented women of Tucson. Each month FST! invites four or more women to write and perform original stories based on a common prompt.

With each story presenting a unique perspective on that month’s theme, every FST! performance combines hilarity, personality, and insight to entertain and inspire audiences. As passionate as FST! members are about telling great stories, FST! also uses its powers for good by raising funds for local arts and community organizations.
