The live experience
What reaches the room
Story Smash is a live storytelling experience created, produced, and hosted by Christine Blackburn. Set at the intimate Lyric Hyperion Theatre & Bar in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, this show blends truth, humor, and spontaneity as four contestants spin the Wheel of Truth and share a true 1–2 minute story on a given topic. Expert judges provide feedback, and audience engagement is a key element—sometimes a lucky attendee is invited to join the fun.
