Dayton Story Slam will celebrate the close of it’s 9th season this week at the Brightside with their annual Grand Slam storytelling event. Normally Story Slam is an open mic showcase of local storytellers taking the stage for 5 minutes and sharing a personal story. Every month there the audience picks a winner. This week those monthly winners from this season take the stage once again.
Story Slams are community events where people take the mic and share a personal story. These are true stories and are told without the use of notes. Dayton Story Slam has been hosting these events for more than a decade.
New for this year’s Grand Slam is the addition of the Dayton Street Snacks food truck. Show up, grab a burger or crab cake and a cocktail from the Brightside before the show.
This Grand Slam features 8 of our winners from this season’s shows. Each one is bringing a new story and the theme is Duped. We expect 8 fantastic stories with tales of being tricked, bamboozled and hoodwinked.
GrandSlam tellers include:
Adam West
London Cole
Marci Wright
Keith Davis
Taylor Hemmerich
Paul Stelzer
Brad Lightle
Jackie Andrews
