Jeff Howe was the winner of our “Scars” Story Slam. Jeff told the story of his childhood friend nicknamed “Fat Frankie” and how some scars have the possibility of being healed.
Our “Scars” Story Slam was a mix of good laughs and vulnerable moments. We heard stories about both physical and emotional childhood traumas and stories of bizarre and sometimes comical injuries. Beth Horrenkamp shared her story of a sparring mishap in which her injury was hardly noticeable. Mandy Mastros shared a story about the value of telling one’s story, scars and all. PK Hill shared about her experience of meeting Katherine Hepburn. David Smith shared his obsession with pretzels and Ash Devoe shared a tale reminding us that it’s a bad idea to trim the nails of a coyote.
Thanks to all our many talented storytellers, the judges, our emcee Linda Silberman, and everyone who came out to cheer on our story tellers, and be a part of our storytelling community.
Our next Story Slam is the final event of the 2019 season - the Lancaster Story Slam Grand Slam! The theme for the Grand Slam will be “Changes.” Grand Slam will be held on Tuesday, November 26th starting at 7 PM at The Ware Center. If you plan to attend, be sure to get your tickets online in advance as our Grand Slam event has sold out every year.
