The Slam is back.

Story Slam, an event that sees participants share five-minute stories, returns to an in-person event for the first time in months at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 19, on the Olympic Theatre Arts Center stage, 414 N. Sequim Ave.

The theme for the evening is “Almost.”

“Everyone is invited to drop their name in the bag to share a five-minute true personal story on the theme, however you interpret it,” organizer Jeanné Sparks said.

“If your name gets pulled, you get on the stage to share. Of course, the event needs an audience, and everyone is welcome to come to listen, there is no pressure to be a teller.”

Information on how story slams work, what the judges are looking for and more is available at clallamstorypeople.org.

Tickets are $10 at the door, available online at olympictheatrearts.org or by calling the box office at 360-683-7326 between 1-4 p.m., Tuesday-Friday.

Organizers ask attendees wear a mask and keep it on unless actively performing, eating or drinking while in the OTA hall.

Patrons must also have their vaccine card showing full immunizations 14 days earlier than the event or bring a negative PCR test from a lab that was done within 72 hours prior to the event.
