First Person Arts

Heroes of Grand Slam brings you the cast of Story Slammers you’ll see go head-to-head at the 2008 First Person Festival Grand Slam on Saturday November 15th from 9-11pm.  This one will sell out, so buy your tickets right away! You can make a day of it and check out Girls Rock from 3-6 pm and Doubletime! from 6:30 to 8:30pm.

Here are our heroes, and these are their stories:

Sam Malissa, winner of August’s “Worst Ever”

Unfortunately for Sam, he’ll be leading a tour of Japan with the Japan America Society during our Festival, but fortunately for you, the second-place finisher that night, notorious gadabout and self-proclaimed diva, Donald Carter will be filling his shoes:

Ryan T. Barlow won September’s “Belonging” (and is a guest storyteller tonight!)

You’ve got one more chance to join this pantheon of Philadelphia storytellers TONIGHT at L’Etage.  The last regularly scheduled slam of the season is “Strange Coincidence”.   Doors open at 7:30 and the slam begins at 8:30.  We’ll be announcing the Grand Slam theme to the audience!  See you there…
