Come out to West Chester Story Slam and feel like a teenager all over again! “Teen Spirit” is the theme of the next event, which takes place on Tuesday, August 13, at Side Bar & Restaurant. Reserve your seats here.
West Chester Story Slam is a live event, where people take the stage with no notes or props and tell a 5-minute true story in front of an often rowdy audience. Some stories are hilarious, others might be sad, but they all share aspects of the human experience. You can take the stage to tell your story or simply hang out and watch. Check it out to see why West Chester Story Slam was voted “Best Entertaining Night Out” last year by Main Line Today.
What does the theme “Teen Spirit” mean? According to the West Chester Story Slam’s website:
Teen Spirit reflects the gumption, the audacity, the feeling of immortality we have during those years. We were all young at one time, and many of us were foolish, in love with life, and just plain naive. Teens can often be overconfident, even cocky. Teens often believe they are immortal, and this can cause problems. These formative years are a time where we matured into adults and learned about ourselves and others. We experimented, listened to rock ’n roll, made outrageous mistakes, had our hearts crushed, our pimples popped, our cars wrecked, and worried our parents. All in a typical weekend. For those old enough to have their own teens now, this all comes back to haunt you.
The “Teen Spirit” Story Slam is being held on Tuesday, August 13, at 8 p.m. Seating is limited; reserve your tickets here.
