World & Eye is proud to present the Fort Lauderdale Story Slam, a storytelling contest in which people tell true stories about their own lives in 5-7 minutes. The performers include newbies and seasoned storytellers telling stories on a theme, and you just never know what you're going to hear... The stories can be funny, intense, moving, quirky, eye-opening, and even controversial, as the storytellers invite you to see the world through their eyes. The evening features eight storytellers, as well as interactive storytelling games between the stories so that the audience can join in too.
