StorySlam Oakland presents: Family

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

The Sound Room

StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show, where people tell short and true stories from their lives. Or just listen and laugh. The theme changes every month. You can tell any story about yourself that touches on the theme of 'spirit' in some way. HOW THE SHOW WORKS:Anybody can put their name in the hat for a chance to tell their true, personal story on the theme.Storytellers will be mostly picked at random from the names in the hat. We may have one or two special picked guests. We usually have time for 8 to 10 open-mic storytellers. We also present one or two Featured Storytellers from our wonderful storytelling community. These are people who have won awards at various shows, or just are known to us for their great storytelling style and charisma. The Featured Storytellers tell true, personal stories, but a little longer than the open-mic'ers.There is excellent food and drink available from the Sound Room cafe. The venue is wheelchair accessible. Polite dogs and well-behaved teenagers are allowed. There will be one intermission. StorySlam Oakland rules for storytelling: Put your name in the hat for a chance to tellStories must be about YOUStories must be TRUE Length should be about 5 to 6 minutes, but no longerStories must be told aloud, not read and NO notes! Tell it just like you're telling friends around a dinner table.No pressure! Just have fun. There is no voting and no judging.
