Story Slam!

Sammamish Public Library

Wednesday, April 23 6:30-8:30pm

Ages 6-17 welcome.

Presented by the Young Writers & Entertainment Association

Are you dreaming of becoming the next American Idol, but can’t sing? If you can write a poem or very short story, this is your opportunity to become famous for a few minutes! You get 5 minutes to present your work, and there will be 30 finalists chosen from around the county to compete in May to have their work produced at the Moore Theatre in Seattle. All work must be original. You may submit the song, poem or story to the library in advance, or bring it with you the day of the program. Students may submit as many songs, stories, or poems as they would like, but entries must be performed in 5 minutes.  Drop off work in advance starting April 1, labeled Story Slam: Attention Cindy.  Include name, address, phone and school name.
