How it Works
Stories must be 5 minutes or less, spoken aloud (not read), just plain-spoken word about something you have experienced personally. This is spontaneous with no auditions or rehearsals. If you wish to tell a story, each session you’ll have an opportunity to put your name in a hat! Who knows who will be chosen?
