Story Club PGH Presents: Story Slam!

What better way to bring in the new year than with a collection of fresh stories from our friends at Story Club Pittsburgh? 

Since 2022, it’s been our pleasure to partner with Story Club (created by the former producers of The Moth Pittsburgh) for their monthly nonfiction storytelling series, Story Slam. Together, we aim to showcase a diverse range of voices and create a space for stories that resonate across backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Each month, we welcome open mic storytellers to the stage to share six-minute tales that tackle a pre-selected theme.

Each month, the top storyteller, as voted by viewers, will win a free City of Asylum t-shirt. Learn more here or sign up for an open mic slot at the slam. Not interested in storytelling but still want to participate? Try joining a judging team and help decide the winners instead!
