This year Freetown Village is partnering with Storytelling Arts of Indiana and their monthly Indy Story Slam.
Indy Story Slam is a fun night for storytellers of every skill level, or want-to-be storytellers, to tell a true story based on the monthly theme. The theme for December is “Childhood Memories Unwrapped”.
The rules of #IndyStorySlam are as follows: Stories must be up to five minutes long, personal, true, told in first person, and based on the theme, which can be interpreted narrowly or broadly. We just ask tellers not to use props or read from the page. The slam judges, time and scorekeepers will be predetermined. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three tellers of the slam.
IF YOU WANT TO TELL A STORY: Send an email by registration deadline - December 14th, 5:00 p.m.
This month we’ll be live at the Chatham Tap Pub - Butler, in the Champion’s Room (4702 Sunset Avenue). Come early to eat dinner and then enjoy the stories whether or not you plan to tell a story. We will need judges and a timekeeper.
IF YOU JUST WANT TO WATCH/LISTEN: Indy Story Slam will be streamed live on Facebook and YouTube.
