Joshua Tree Playhouse Presents: Coyote Howl

One mic. Five minutes. No filter.

Coyote Howl is a gathering of comedy, tragedy, story, sound, and spirit—where desert voices rise, trickster energy runs wild, and community comes together under the stars. Inspired by the tradition of raw, unfiltered storytelling, this new monthly event invites participants to share whatever burns brightest—in 5 minutes or less.

Equal parts howl, laugh, and heartbeat, each night is a surprise: from the wildly funny to the deeply raw, no two are ever the same. Sparks fly as local artists, community members, and unexpected guests take the stage.

Want in? Sign up to claim your 5-minute slot, or come ride the wave from the audience.

This is your desert soapbox. Let’s hear what’s burning.

Curated by Playhouse Artistic Director, Justin Zsebe.
