OPPORTUNITY: 090310/StorySLAM Open to All/Durham

The Monti is proud to introduce the very first StorySLAM to hit Durham on March 10th at Alivia's Durham Bistro. If you're a fan of The Monti, then you'll certainly be a fan of this new twist on an old idea. The concept is simple: you come to the StorySLAM on March 10th; if you have a story to tell on the theme of Secrets & Lies, submit your name to the hat. If you just want to watch - relax and enjoy! Throughout the show, we will randomly choose 10 names from the hat, and one by one, storytellers will take the stage. Each story is limited to 5 minutes, and the stories will be judged by select members of the audience. At the end of the night, we will have a winner of the StorySLAM.

10 STORYTELLERS
5 MINUTES EACH
1 WINNER

The doors at Alivia's will open at 7pm and the cover is $5 at the door. There will be NO advanced ticketing! Based on The Monti's popularity (the March 3rd show sold out in 7 minutes), it is advisable to arrive well before 7pm, especially if you hope to tell a story. Seating will be limited; there will be standing room as well. Food and drink will also be available! Stories begin at 8pm!

For more information, go to The Monti's StorySLAM page or email jeff@themonti.org.

The Monti StorySLAMs join the schedule of the monthly, curated Monti events. Following the premier SLAM, the next SLAM is slated for April 14th directly following the curated Monti event with a special guest host and author, Sara Barron, from New York City’s The Moth. Once there have been ten StorySLAMs, a GrandSLAM competition will take place with the ten previous SLAM winners.
