The Actors Studio of Newburyport presents
Our Eighth
Full Moon Super Story Slam – Theme ‘Grace’

Before there was Zoom, or the internet – before there was television, radio, or live streaming  – before there was written language – there were stories. It’s how our ancestors made sense of both their world and, subsequently, help us to make sense of ours. It’s how knowledge and culture are passed down. It’s how we come to know ourselves and each other.

2021 is the eigth year of our successful story slam program, thanks to all our amazing storytellers and the many audiences who have given their support and encouragement to all.

December’s Super Story Slam is our annual finale in which we invite all of our 2021 Full Moon Story Slam winners to tell us one more tale – this time a longer story focused around the theme – Grace. This year we will welcome local storytellers and storytellers from across the nation in a hybrid presentation including live and online presenters.

The three criteria for the judges:

1.) The story has an arc: a beginning, a point of change, and a resolution.
2.) Presentation of the story.
3.) Time (no longer than ten minutes) and connection to the theme.
