This year Freetown Village is again 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, designed as an after-work event to relax and unwind. Storytellers of every skill level, or want-to-be storytellers, will have up to five minutes to tell a true story based on the monthly theme. The theme for May is “Board Game”.

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. Prizes will be awarded to the top three tellers, as determined by our judges. Note: Parts or all of your story may be posted on our social media or YouTube channel.

On site location: Half Liter BBQ, 5301 Winthrop Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46220
