Storytelling is a dynamic art form that brings people together through shared experiences, emotions, and ideas. When we open our souls through storytelling, we transcend both time and culture to broaden our understanding of what it means to be human.

How to become a storyteller
Rules of Engagement:
-
All stories must be true.
-
They must be autobiographical (please don’t tell us a story about your friend).
-
All stories must be under 5 minutes. (We do time you and we will, regretfully, cut you off.)
-
We’re looking for a beginning, middle and end to each story.
-
Stories must be related to the theme in some way.
Please submit your story pitch of 200-300 words through the link above. Clarify how your story relates to the theme, and let us know for which date you are submitting.
Stories will be chosen based on relationship to the theme, relevance, and how they fit together to create a varied evening of entertainment. Story tellers will be notified if their stories are chosen one week prior to the slam.
