ACW and NCPR announce the final Howl Story Slams of 2024
The Adirondack Center for Writing (ACW) and North Country Public Radio (NCPR) have announced the final six Howl Story Slams of the 2024 season.
The first will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at 6:30 p.m. at Ausable Brewing Company in Keeseville, NY. Additional story slams are scheduled in Bolton Landing at Bolton Landing Brewing Company on Aug. 22; Malone at Prairie’s Orchard on Sept. 5; Potsdam at 1844 House on Sept. 18; Saratoga Springs at Caffe Lena on Oct. 23 and Tupper Lake at Raquette River Brewing Company on Nov. 12. The theme for these six events is “Close Call.” More info 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 and told without notes. Storytellers are judged by selected audience members – on quality, adherence to theme and adherence to time – and a winner is announced at the end of each night. Every 2024 winner will be invited to compete at the Howl Grand Slam in early January.
So far this year, The Howl Story Slam has been to Plattsburgh, Morristown, Upper Jay, Indian Lake, Saranac Lake and Wanakena. Over 400 attendees have listened to nearly 60 different storytellers – six of whom have clinched their spot to compete at the grand slam.
No tickets are needed; each slam is a suggested $10 donation which is split between ACW and NCPR, two North Country nonprofits dedicated to inspiring the love of storytelling.
The Adirondack Center for Writing has been bringing people and words together for 25 years through provocative events and meaningful programs. For more information about ACW, visit adirondackcenterforwriting.org or follow @adkctr4writing on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
