Theme: Cats & Dogs.
Our featured storyteller this month is Matthew Dicks.
Matthew is a 49-time Moth StorySLAM champion and 6-time GrandSLAM champion whose stories have been featured on the nationally syndicated Moth Radio Hour and weekly podcast. He also teaches workshops on true storytelling and has authored many books including one of the most influential books on the subject, Storyworthy. His long list of credits and accolades can be found here.
About the Show:
Some stories may be funny. Others may be raw and vulnerable. All will be true, first-person accounts of real experiences from ordinary people.
Our lineup features performers who have won at StorySlam Oakland or The Moth, or performed at StorySlam Oakland or other storytelling competitions.
After the featured performers, we'll present open-mic stories from members of the Zoom audience.
Ticket buyers will receive a Top Secret Zoom link to join the video event on the night of the show.
Tickets are by pay-what-you-can donation. Thanks for generously supporting independent local arts like StorySlam Oakland.
Donations of $50 or more will receive a free StorySlam Oakland T-shirt, while supplies last.
This exclusive show is live only within the Zoom meeting. It won't be streamed or broadcast anywhere else, just like a live show.
Make sure you install Zoom for free on your computer or smartphone.
Open-mic storytelling: Storytellers in the audience who want to tell a 5-minute true story during this show will have a chance to put their names in the super fun RANDOM NAME PICKER wheel. Storytellers will be selected at random and given 5 minutes to tell. See our tips for Storytelling Online over Zoom.
