Do you dream about performing on ARTICHOKE’s Main Stage in Beacon?

Our FREE Story Slam at Norma’s in Wappingers Falls is your path to stand in the spotlight.

The way it works is, you:

• Show up early to drop your name in the bag.

• If it’s pulled, you get 6 minutes to tell a true, personal & memorized story.

• Tales are judged by seasoned ARTICHOKE performers, and the top scorer is crowned the night’s winner!

But wait, it gets better… Win a Story Slam and earn a spot in our Big Story Showdown! The Showdown champ gets a coveted place in ARTICHOKE’s curated show.

The coolest part? All this potential for fun and fame is totally FREE! We only ask that you give some love to Norma’s by enjoying plenty of their delicious food and drinks.

GOT A TALE YOU WANT TO TELL?

Be sure that it is:

• YOUR story. First-person, real-life experiences only.

• TRUE. No fiction. Save the tall tales for the campfire.

• MEMORIZED. No notes, no phones, no cheat sheets.

• UNDER TIME. You lose points every 15 sec over 6 min.

• No REPEATS. Tell a story the Slam hasn’t heard before.

The Story Slam is at 7pm on the 4th Thursday of the month until we get 6 unique champs for a BIG STORY SHOWDOWN.
