About this Event
We are looking for judges for this StorySLAM. If interested, !
We all have our halos and our horns. Whether you were the rule-follower who finally rebelled, or a reformed troublemaker with a past you’ve tried to bury, we’ve all been caught somewhere in that messy space between vice and virtue. On Wednesday, March 18th, we want to hear your stories of the time you fell from grace, stood up for what was right, broke a commandment, or performed a small miracle. No matter if you’re a sinner or a saint (or maybe a bit of both), you have a story worth telling.
About The Monti StorySLAM (18 & up event)
The Monti StorySLAM is an open storytelling event, where anyone with a story on a certain theme has a chance to tell it. This is a competitive event, so there will be judges in the audience. At each event, there will be eight storytellers chosen at random; each story is five minutes long; one winner will be declared at the end of the night. Here's how you can tell your story:
- We publicize a theme (this show's theme is Saints and Sinners).
- You think, "Hey, I have a story that goes with that theme!"
- You buy a ticket.
- You practice your five-minute story at home and in your car.
- You show up and fill out a form stating that you would like to tell a story (NOTE: You DO NOT have to tell a story to attend. You can just sit back and enjoy the show.)
- During the show, we will pick names from a hat at random, one at a time, and each person called will have five minutes to tell their story.
- After eight stories have been told, one winner will be declared!
Winners from each StorySLAM will qualify for The Monti GrandSLAM in April 2026. The GrandSLAM brings the winners back to compete for the ultimate title of The Monti GrandSLAMpion!
