SpeakeasyDC goes to Nationals in Chicago – June 13

Posted June 3rd, 2010 by Amy Saidman

Windy City Story Slam hosts the first ever national story slam competition

On Sunday, June 13th, 3 PM, at the Harold Washington Library’s Pritzker Auditorium, witness the biggest literary showdown Chicago’s ever seen. Storytellers from across the country will come to the City of Big Shoulders to rep their hometown Slams and compete for the National title (and huge bragging rights).  Regie Cabico will be SpeakeasyDC’s ringer for the evening, and will surely do right by DC in kicking some story-slamming buttocks.   Other organizations and cities represented so far: Porchlight (SanFran),  1st Person Arts (Philly),  Mass Mouth (Boston),  Baltimore Stoop (MA),  Portland Story Theatre (Portland, OR), Twin Cities Story Slam (Minn), and Anderson Story Slam (SC). This event is just one of many kick-ass literary offerings during the 2010 Chicago Tribune Printers Row Lit Fest. The show is free, but you can reserve your seat now here.
