StorySlam Oakland has been Oakland's longest true-storytelling live show, since 2013.
Our spontaneous storytelling experiment went so well last month that we're doing it again! That means you can tell a true story from your life on a theme thrown out by the audience at the beginning of the show.
Or, give us a story on our pre-announced theme: "Shady."
How it works:
The hosts will encourage audience members to shout out ideas for themes. It could be a theme you have a story about, or a theme you want to hear some true stories about. We'll write them down and then the fun begins.
You can also take your time between now and the show and craft a story on our pre-announced theme, which is Shady.
Put your name in the hat for a chance to tell your story. We usually have time for about 10 storytellers.
We live in some alarming times, no doubt. Sometimes shady stuff is funny, stometimes it's serious. Tell us a story about a time you did something shady, or you picked up on something shady in your own life. What did you do about it? What happened? Any story is good as long as it's true, about you, and five to six minutes long. We'll have a timer to keep you on track. Remember, no notes or reading allowed. You'll tell it like you're telling friends around the dinner table.
Hosted by creator Julie Soller & comic Inanc Ino.
