MAY 23, 2023: ON THE MOVE

“I’m outta here!” “I love you all, but I’ve got to go!” “Get to steppin!”

Before you move on to enjoying the summer sun, join us for sizzling and thrilling stories about Moving On. All told by you! Live on stage.

Tell us all about where you’ve been, where you’re coming from, or even that time you told someone to keep it moving.

We want to hear your story live on our stage about Moving On, moving out, and even moving up.

Do you have a Moving On story to tell or just want to listen?

Join us for Philly’s ORIGINAL StorySlam when audience members become on-stage storytellers, telling true, personal stories.

Our host Chris Lundy will present 8 storytellers from our audience volunteers. For a chance to be pre-selected to tell your story, send the first line of your story to: Stories@FirstPersonArts.org.

Get your tickets early!  StorySlams fill up quickly. After all,  everybody’s got a story to tell, right?

Join us at World Cafe Live on May 23rd at 8 pm. Doors open at 6 pm.

Tickets are $15 and benefit First Person Arts.

World Cafe Live is located at 3025 Walnut Street in Center City.
