2018 Fringe StorySlam

A StorySlam is an open mic competition for anyone to share a five-minute story, based on a theme, to audience members who appreciate a well-told tale. This year’s theme will be “Unexpected”.  Sign up to tell a story, or just come and enjoy the show!

If you're interested in performing your story, you must sign up prior to the event by filling out this form:

​On the night of the StorySlam, potential performers should check in at 10pm, and their names will be put into a hat.  We will randomly pull 10 names from the hat (just like our fringe shows!) and that will determine who will perform in the StorySlam.  ​​Each teller will have 5 minutes to tell his or her tale. Then it is up to our panel of celebrity judges to decide which story is the best of the night.  The winner of the StorySlam will receive a $100 cash prize!!! 
​
  • Contestants are judged on sticking to the five-minute time frame, sticking to the theme, and having a story that has a conflict and a resolution.
