massmouth Story Slam

What's a story slam?
 
Modeled after poetry slams, massmouth’s story slams invite storytellers—from experienced performers to first-timers—to share a  real-life  story in  five minutes .  Storytellers sign up and 10 are chosen at random to tell their story on the slam's theme. Volunteer judges award prizes based on a story’s narrative arc, presentation and connection to the theme. Judges select first and second place winners and the audience votes for a third. Winners are invited back… Show more for the semi-finals in March, where they vie for a spot in the finals.
 
NOTE:  This year (2013), Story Slam Finals (also known as the Big Mouth Off) will take place on April 17th at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline!
Nov. 13th --Holidays with the Family
 
Got a story about spending a holiday with the family---maybe you wished you hadn't, maybe you're glad you didn't miss it, maybe you missed it entirely?  Be sure to bring it on Tuesday night at the Precinct from 7-9.  Come tell or listen to the 5-minute stories of glory and horrors!  Readings of David Sedaris,  Holidays on Ice,   will peppered into the show to add spice to the evening and inspire.
