Thanks so much to everyone who came out to share their “SECRETS” at the May 27th StorySlam!  Check out the liveblog at Uwishunu and keep checking back for videos of the stories.  Congratulations to Katonya for advancing to the GrandSlam at the First Person Festival, November 12-16th!  (See video of her winning story here!)

Or next event is a Salon at the Gershman Y on June 11th (7-9pm).  It will include three fascinating local artists:

• Ron Kanter’s documentary New Cops excerpted with a discussion with the filmmaker and some of the film’s stars
• Lorene Cary, founder of Art Sanctuary, reading from recent memoir writing
• Donald Gensler—a Mural Artist—presenting his new mural at Broad and Race about Philadelphians living with disability.  He will discuss the process of producing it.
