Cast Iron Storytelling presents ‘Lucky’ for our first-ever show at the Woodshop Listening Room!

Feeling lucky? We’re bringing live, true tales of near-misses, happy accidents, and wild twists of fate. Our storytellers come from all walks of life to share real stories on getting 'Lucky.' We're talking times in life that go sideways. Times that if it wasn’t for bad luck, you’d have no luck at all. Times of divine intervention and thanking your lucky stars.

Plus, we'll have fresh Cast Iron Storytelling merch in stock!

Join us for a night not to be missed at "the best-sounding little music venue in East Tennessee" pulsing in the heart of St. Elmo! Advanced reservations are recommended to save your spot for dinner and a show.

General Admission: $16.38
Doors 5PM | Show 6PM
