When the doors open at 6:30 pm, you can sign up to tell a 5–8-minute story based on the theme! When the event starts, and one by one, storytellers, poets, musicians take the stage. 

Come sign up to tell a story, or just enjoy the show!

How to tell your story at a StorySlam:

  1. Find out the theme of the night.
  2. Craft your story, poem, musical share!
  3. Practice so you can remember it, but also feel free to use some notes at first. Then practice it so you can keep it down to 5-8 minutes. Revise. Rework. Revamp. Finesse. Try again. Keep going. The goal is to improve – not for perfection.

Stay tuned for future StorySlam events!  A different theme each time.
