What: StoryOly is a live monthly oral storytelling competition.
When: Third Tuesday of each month
Where: The Brotherhood Lounge. 119 Capitol Way N, Olympia, WA 98501
Time: 7:00pm, Our event is fairly popular so we encourage you to get there early to get a seat!
Cost: Suggested Donation $10-20 at the door, NOTAFLOF (no one turned away for lack of funds) Half of the door funds donated to local charites and non-profits.
Details: The general public (21+) is invited to tell a personal true story on stage based on the monthly theme. Each teller is scored by a group of 3 volunteer judges selected from the audience the night of the event. Stories must be true and 8 minutes or less in duration. Judges are asked to rate each teller on their ability to tell a good story. Did it have a beginning middle and end? Was it compelling? Did you want to know what happened next? They are asked to not judge the teller on their life choices, but merely on their ability to tell a good story.
The winner of each monthly slam wins a cash prize and qualifies to participate in the StoryOly Grand Slam in September 2025.
