Come Audition for the 6th Annual International Storytelling Festival!
by Lee Harris
We would like to invite you to bring your favorite story to share in our 2019 Storytelling Festival. Auditions for our festival Showcase Finale will be held September 10 and September 12 to qualify storytellers for the Finale performance on October 5. We are looking for stories based on your own personal, true life experience, about seven minutes long. Please pre-register at smastories@gmail.com
Every person has a thousand stories to tell. When you think about it, our identities are simply the sum of the stories we remember. If you narrowly escaped death while climbing a mountain, we want to hear about it. But absolutely ordinary can also be very entertaining — look at the many successful seasons of Seinfeld, where episodes dwelt on things like the loss of a dry cleaning ticket.
Please sign up now to audition your special story on either the morning of Tuesday, September 10 or the afternoon of Thursday, September 12. We can tell you more about times, locations and other details of the auditions and answer any questions about the Storytelling Festival at smastories@gmail.com
