massmouth was invited back to celebrate First Night 2012 with story. We said hello to 2012 with two, back to back story slams and this podcast is from the first slam, recorded with a digital Zoom. It features Tony Toledo's story on the theme "obsession", and a high school student from StoriesLive®, Varvarra Valentin from Lynn Classical High School, the beginning and end of Scott Schultz's major league career and two stories from audience members. Both story slams were standing room only. 8PM to 9:45PM part one and 9:45pm to 11PM part two The theme for stories was "the end" OR tellers could may bring a story on any prompt* from any Season III story slams.(emergency,supernatural,wheels, pranked, idol, where I'm from, and gifts)The audience jumped in and even more opted to sit back and listen to some of Boston's best story slammers. People with a 4 minute story on the theme "the end " or any of the season's themes brought their stories and then dropped their names in the “hat” and were drawn at random to tell in each slam . On April 11, 2012, 7-9PM All the finalists if our offical slams will gather at Coolidge Corner, main Theater to compete for a week in a medeival townhouse in Tuscany and other prizes. If you've lived it, you have a story. Tell it! About story slams Like a poetry slam, a story slam is a performance based contest where volunteer judges choose the best true story on the theme. Anyone may sign up at the venue for a chance to tell their true, 5-minute, first- person narrative and a lucky 8-10 tellers will be chosen at random to perform their stories.
