Tell Us Everything: Story Slam

Friday, December 16, 7-9pm, $5-10 donations at the door

Prepare a five-minute story, based on the theme “Light,” put your name in a hat and you will be one of the people selected to tell your story onstage

How to prepare:

Prepare a five-minute story incorporating the theme, Light.

Stories about your near-death experience, a light bulb moment, that beautiful sunrise, or a simple salad you had for lunch!

Stories should not be longer than five minutes and must be told not read- that means no notes, no writing on your palm, no cue cards. We’re timing you!

Stories should have a beginning, middle, and end.

How to participate:

Storytellers should arrive with a prepared 5-minute story and put their names into the hat 30 minutes before the slam begins.

Our host picks names from the hat and storytellers take to the stage one at a time.

After each story, three groups of judges from the audience give a score based on the following criteria:

Is the story on theme?

Was it five minutes or shorter?

Was it a story? (i.e., Did it have a beginning, a middle, and an end?)

At the end of the slam, the storyteller with the highest score wins!

What do you win? Bragging rights and the glow of accomplishment that comes with a story well told.
