This month’s Story Slam theme is "Rebel Bloom," celebrating Women's History Month and the Spring Equinox with stories about resilience, growth, and breaking barriers. Ten names are drawn from a hat, and each storyteller gets five minutes to share a true personal story—no notes, no props, just heart. At the end of the night, the audience picks a winner who takes home a $50 prize. If you have a story about a time you pushed through and stood tall, step up and share. Otherwise, just come for a night of raw, honest storytelling in a space that champions creativity and community.
