The first event is set for Wednesday, Mar. 27, at 7 p.m. at Olive Ridley’s in Plattsburgh. Additional story slams are scheduled in Morristown at the Iron Horse Grill on Apr. 23; Upper Jay at the Upper Jay Art Center on May 16; Indian Lake at the Indian Lake Theater on June 21 and Saranac Lake at the Waterhole on July 9. The theme for these five slams is “Total Lunacy.” More information for each event can all be found on ACW’s events page at adirondackcenterforwriting.org/events.

Anyone can sign up to tell a story. Stories must be: true, under five minutes, adhere to the night’s theme and told without notes. Storytellers are judged by a few audience members and a winner is announced at the end of each night. No tickets are needed; each slam is a suggested $10 donation which is split between ACW and NCPR.
