Ex Fabula StorySlams are live events where community members connect and share true, personal stories related to the night’s theme, told without props or notes. Come just to listen – or throw your name in the hat for a chance to share a true story related to the theme ‘Left No Crumbs’ - Stories of food, cultural delicacies, cooking disasters, mouth-watering meals, and tradition! At the end of the night, the audience votes by secret ballot to choose an Audience Favorite and our secret judges will select a Judges Favorite! There will be opportunities for youth to be a paid storyteller or volunteer, with extra cash prizes for the Audience Favorite and Judges Favorite. The audience can also be a part of the storytelling by submitting UltraShorts! These are “ultra-short” stories on the night’s theme that will be read onstage by the emcee.
