iT’S STORY HARVEST TiME

The spontaneous story slammers who drop their name at every show have scattered their seed randomly throughout the season. At SLAMMER OF THE YEAR, standout story picks from our latest flagship and late-night seasons are gathered together like freshly harvested baskets of fruit. Studio guides Jessica Holmes and Patti O'Hara each cultivate teams of five top-ranked story slammers to lead them to market. They’ll first take turns planting seeds on the prompt SOW. Then the audience votes one team's crop of stories through to harvest on the theme REAP. When the season's done, only one storyteller blooms fully with the winning title of Slammer of the Year. Get tickets now. Stories starting at 7 pm (gates at 6 pm). Open to all ages with food, beer and wine available for purchase.
