New themes, many new venues as massmouth returns for Story Slam Season IV

Starting on September 9th massmouth will be hosting slams at Doyle’s in Jamaica Plain, Club Passim in Cambridge, and The Rosebud Bar and Grill in Somerville. Our new series of folk and fairy tale slams for adults at The Puppet Showplace Theatre in Brookline begins in October. Modeled after poetry slams, massmouth’s story slams invite everyone—from experienced performers to first-timers—to share real-life stories on published themes like: “alien, whacked, foodie, crush and bankrupt". 10 tellers are chosen at random and each night, judges select first and second place winners and the audience will vote for their choice too. Winners are invited back for the semi-finals and a chance to enter the finals in April 2013 at the Coolidge Corner Theater.
