Winnipeg Story Slam is happening again on Tuesday, February 11th! In partnership with Black History Manitoba, our theme is: HEART & HERITAGE This theme makes us think of times connected to our grandparents, and moments that taught us about love of culture and heritage. The stories of cherished family heirlooms or times when you felt deeply rooted and connected to community or family legacy. It’s the stories of where we come from and where we’re going. Of music passed down and of people or places or experiences that give a sense of belonging. Come and share a story or just be part of the live audience! This friendly competition is open-mic style and includes: - 10 Storytellers chosen from a hat - 5 minutes to tell a captivating true story - 5 volunteer audience judges - One cash prize for the winner - Plenty of unknowns and surprises Come be part of building this storytelling community where stories - a moment in time - with a beginning, a middle, and an end, are shared! TUESDAY - FEBRUARY 11th - @ THE ROYAL ALBERT ARMS (*Venue is CASH ONLY)
