NOW SEEKING YOU:
Dust off that diary! Whip out that Trapper Keeper! Mortified is always looking for new performers to appear in our stage show. Simply request a "screening session" (aka: shoebox session). We'll contact you, and bring you in for our next round of sessions. We bring in everyone who contacts us. Open to anyone 21+.

ABOUT OUR STAGE SHOWS:
Hailed a "cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and celebrated by This American Life, The Today Show, Entertainment Weekly, and more... Mortified Live is a storytelling series where adults share their most embarrassing adolescent artifacts (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies) in order to reveal a story about their life.

THE MORTIFIED METHOD: OUR GUIDELINES

Eveyone needs words to live by. Moses had ten commandments. Dogma 95 had ten vows of chastity. Fight Club had eight rules. The Babysitters Club had, well, something. Here's our approach...

• Material is collected through open calls for participants found at getmortified.com
• Matirial includes any writing, art, or media created before the age of 21
• Material must be presented by its original author
• Material is screened by Mortified producers to help authors select excerpts that reveal unique personal themes and narratives
• Material must retain the original wording; language only altered to protect the innocent, awkward or angsty
