ABOUT STORY SLAMS: People with a five-minute story on the theme as Contestants will drop their names in the "hat". 10 lucky tellers will be drawn at random to tell and be judged. There will be a team of 5 volunteer judges and massmouth awards prizes to the top two stories. Listeners will be engaged in story improv games between each 5-minute feature.
