Dedham Greenspace Coalition Invites Community to Share Stories
July's STORY SLAM to Feature Stories About "The Sound of Music" -All Invited to Attend
DEDHAM, MA — The Dedham Greenspace Coalition invites residents to its next community Story Slam on Friday, July 10, from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at TLC Studios & Media Lab, 390 Washington Street in Dedham Square.
The theme for July’s Story Slam is “The Sound of Music” — an invitation for storytellers to share true, personal tales inspired by songs, sounds, rhythms, instruments, concerts, childhood memories, family traditions, personal anthems, or any unforgettable moment where music played a starring role.
Award-winning Story Slam emcee Mark Scherfling offers this creative spark for participants, “Prepare a story about sounds combined: a song, a symphony, a high note, or the moment when the beat dropped. From band practice to the tune that saved the day, the mood music that did the trick, or your personal anthem. From salsa to your swan song, from the orchestra pit to the mosh pit. Give us the mixtape of YOU.”

Audience members are welcome to attend simply to enjoy the evening, cheer on the storytellers, and connect with neighbors. Those who wish to share a story of their own may sign up to participate. Prizes will once again be awarded to the top three storytellers, selected by a panel of professional creatives and storytellers.
The Dedham Greenspace Coalition Story Slam series is part of the organization’s broader effort to build a vibrant, connected community while advocating for Dedham’s green spaces, trails, and natural resources. By blending storytelling, the arts, and civic engagement, the Coalition hopes to foster deeper connections among residents and strengthen appreciation for the places that make Dedham special.
