Breaking the Rules! -an off season slams series. You can break one (1) story slam rule per show. You still bring your story –Yes, it is still a story slam; true*, first person no notes, 5 minutes, original material only. Prizes and more details TBA at massmouth.com/events pages and on FB and Twitter.
Modeled after poetry slams, massmouth’s story slams invite storytellers—from experienced performers to first-timers—to share a real-life story in five minutes. Each slam, 10 storytellers are chosen randomly by having their names pulled out of a hat. They each must impress the panel of judges and the audience in the room with their story. At the end of the night, volunteer judges select first- and second-place winners and the audience votes for its choice. Winners are invited back for the semi-finals in March.
August 12 Fictional Personas - Your true or fictional stories told in the 1st person. Channel Shakespeare, your cat or Snow White and tell your story from their perspective. (*we drop the true story rule at this slam)
