Where can you experience a plane crash in the amazon, give birth to quadruplets and get trapped inside your own sleeping bag, all from the safety of your own chair? At a story slam of course!

Come and share your own out of this world experience or listen to some outrageous true tales at the Mother Brook Arts & Community Center’s second story slam.

The theme for this slam is “Thwarted”. Have you ever run into the proverbial brick wall? Or, have you ever beat all the odds against you? Come and share your true five minute story for a panel of five judges and tell it in front of a full house. Rather sit back and watch the events unravel? Listeners have an opportunity to participate in storytelling games and vote in an audience choice ballot.

On the night of the slam, competitors drop their name in a hat and are chosen at random to compete against nine other tellers for prizes. We can’t wait to hear your story.

This slam will benefit Mother Brook Arts & Community Center. Tickets are $15.00 at the door and $10.00 on-line. www.motherbrookarts.org/story-slam-nov20
