The Biggest Show
The Biggest Show is a celebration of young voices, big imaginations, and the power of seeing your story come to life.
Each year, Young Storytellers invites students to turn their ideas and experiences into original stories, supported along the way by dedicated mentors.
The Biggest Show brings those stories to the stage, where professional actors perform students’ work in front of a live audience—transforming words on a page into an unforgettable shared experience.
Save the date for Thursday, October 29 at the Wilshire Ebell Theater for the 2026 Biggest Show! Tickets coming soon.

A huge thank you to everyone that made Spookiest Show a success, from the cast, to all those who attended in person or tuned in online, to our sponsors, to our volunteers and staff that make Young Storytellers happen - and of course most of all, our amazing students!
We honored Jason Blum (founder and CEO of Blumhouse) as Storyteller of the Year, presented by Josh Hutcherson (Hunger Games, Five Nights at Freddy’s).
We were blown away by everyone’s support. With your help, we were able to raise $270,000 in support of our programming here in Los Angeles and beyond.
