Whether you have something to say, or just want to listen, you won’t want to miss the return of Montclair Film’s StorySLAM! Each participant will have six minutes to relay their unique version of the theme. After presenting to a supportive audience, a team of judges will evaluate and score each story.

Doors open at 7:00pm. Alcoholic beverages and concessions will be available for purchase.

UPCOMING STORYSLAM:
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30: OUT WITH THE OLD

Whether you went through a big move, a wardrobe purge, or are entering a new chapter in your life, we want to hear about the times you went “out with the old and in with the new”.

THURSDAY, MAY 29: IT’S GONNA BE ME (MAY)
