The Actors Studio presents "Full Moon Story Slam" at the Firehouse Center for the Arts

The Actors Studio of Newburyport presents
Full Moon ‘Super’ Story Slam! The theme?
"Newburyport - Why we came; Why we stay."

Our Final Story Slam of the 2014 Season features special guest storyteller, Norah Dooly, founder and President of the statewide story slam organization, Massmouth.

What is a Story Slam? Simply put, a story slam is a competition based on the art of storytelling. It puts a dual emphasis on content and performance, encouraging storytellers to focus on what they're saying and how they're saying it. It is an exercise in crafting stories within a set time limit and it is great entertainment!

Story slammers sign up on the night of the slam to tell a 5-minute short story on the evening’s theme.

In addition to inviting our audience members to tell stories on our theme, Newburyport: Why we came; Why we stay, we are bringing together all of our 2014 Full Moon Story Slam winners to tell us one more tale: Beth Macy, Sandy Farrier, Anna Smulowitz, Steven Berger, Hailey Klein, Marc Clopton, Lane Glenn, Shayleen Schutz.

Join all of us for a night of wonderful storytelling – it just might be your night to tell the winning story!
