Please join us at the American School of Storytelling for a storytelling open mic. Current, lapsed, and prospective SAM members are all welcome!
At 6:30pm on Thursday, September 19, we’ll gather at the American School of Storytelling in Minneapolis (thank you to co-founder Loren Niemi for the use of the space!). On the brief agenda are a review of the past year's activities, election of new board members, and discussion of your ideas for new (or resurrected) endeavors. Come and learn how you can be involved in promoting the story arts and supporting storytellers.
As soon as business is concluded, we’ll hold a storytelling open mic emceed by SAM board member Howard Lieberman. The rules are simple: Keep your tale to 10 minutes or less. Any type of story is welcome—traditional folktales and legends, true personal or family stories, original fiction, etc. Any style of telling is welcome. There’s no particular theme, and the mood will be supportive, not competitive. SAM members include both professional and amateur tellers who explore a wide range of story genres. It’s sure to be an entertaining and varied program!
