When 8-year-old rescue cat Max was surrounded last January by three hungry coyotes in his Los Angeles, California, backyard, it wasn’t looking good for the lil’ guy. But the plucky pet stood his ground – and fought off the potential assailants. The coyotes were much bigger than Max! But he was fiercer – fending them off until his owners rushed outside and scared the coyotes away.

Now, that’s a good cat fight story! Have you got one? If so, you might want to think about sharing it at the next Full Moon Story Slam. “Cat Fights” is the theme.

Five times a year, TASN hosts an evening of shared stories, and you won’t want to miss this month’s installment! Yes, it’s virtual, so you’re assured a comfortable seat with a terrific view.

Bring a five-minute true story about cat fights, or just come to enjoy the experience. “It’s a community building event,” says Marc Clopton, TASN’s executive director. “We strengthen ties to each other as we gain insight into other people’s lives and into our own.”

If you would like to tell a story, please email Marc at info@newburyportacting.org before noon on Thursday, November 5th. Don’t be nervous, we will send easy instructions.

The competition will be on Saturday, November 7, at 7:00 P.M. Pre-registration to be an audience member is also required.

If you are stirred on Saturday to tell your own story, in the moment storytellers are also welcome.

Once signed up, you will receive a Zoom link for the evening’s stories. Sit back, relax and hear some great cat fight tales! Er, stories.
