In partnership with Yellow House, we're thrilled to present our March Story Slam, featuring the theme "TETHERED." Now in its fifth year, story slams offer an opportunity for people to share a true story, hone the craft of oral storytelling, and connect with community. Before the slam kicks off, immerse yourself in the captivating pre-show art exhibit, "Legacy Interrupted: Recent Work of Hope McMath." This thought provoking exhibit weaves together personal narratives with contemporary themes of race, truth, and the power of remembrance and repair.

A story slam is a live storytelling friendly competition similar to poetry slams. Storytellers have 5 to 7 minutes each to tell a TRUE personal story based on a THEME chosen for the event without the use of notes. Every story slam event has a THEME (Tethered) - Audience members can prepare a story and enter their name in a hat or decide to sit back and listen - 10 people's names are picked from the hat - At the end of the evening the audience votes for their favorite storyteller.
