StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show, where people tell short and true stories from their lives. Or just listen and laugh.

The Featured Storyteller is Mindy Morawetz Myers. Mindy is a Bay Area storytelling favorite. Her stories deliver the laughs as well as her unique take on life. She's won at StorySlam Oakland as well as The Moth. An educator, world traveller, and culinary arts professional, Mindy grew up in New York City but calls the Bay Area her home. Her delightful and funny stories are always a crowd pleaser!

HOW THE SHOW WORKS:

Anybody can put their name in the hat for a chance to tell their true, personal story on the theme.

Storytellers will be mostly picked at random from the names in the hat. We usually have time for 8 to 10 open-mic storytellers. We also present one or two Featured Storytellers from our wonderful storytelling community. These are people who have won awards at various shows, or just are known to us for their great storytelling style and charisma. The Featured Storytellers tell true, personal stories, but a little longer than the open-mic'ers.
