STORY SLAM at FLEMINGTON DIY – THEME: LIGHT
December 16, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$5 – $10
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.
