Emcee:  Your host: Robin Maxfield works for the Speech Improvement Company as a coach and trainer.  Besides storytelling, she produces and hosts Boston's only all female stand up show- Comedy with Wings.

Special Guest:  Did you know that black cats are often the last to be adopted? Neither did Jennifer Stott when she adopted Isabel, a precocious black cat with bright green eyes. Inspired by this great little cat who could have been overlooked just because of the color of her fur, Jennifer co-founded Black Cat Rescue. Black Cat Rescue is an all-volunteer network of foster homes in Boston, dedicated to saving the lives of homeless black cats and kittens by providing quality foster care while actively seeking loving, permanent homes.

What's a story slam?

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.  Storytellers sign up and 10 are chosen at random to tell their story on the slam's theme. Volunteer judges award prizes based on a story’s narrative arc, presentation and connection to the theme. Judges select first and second place winners and the audience votes for a third. Winners are invited back for the semi-finals in March, where they vie for a spot in the finals.

NOTE:  This year (2013), Story Slam Finals (also known as the Big Mouth Off) will take place on April 17th at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline!
