Watermark StorySLAM events feature true personal stories, shared live from memory, in a friendly competition where anyone with a tale to tell is invited to take the stage. Scoring is based on cumulative points awarded by five judges, selected from the audience.

All experience levels are welcome and encouraged to perform. The story should fit the theme, “Into the Woods.” If you would like to perform, there are same day sign-ups at 6:30pm. Call Watermark to pre-register 218-444-7570. Stories must be true as remembered by the storyteller and told in 5 minutes or less without notes or props. As this event is all ages, please keep story content and language appropriate for all audience members.

All ages welcome to perform and/or enjoy this event, but is best enjoyed by ages 12+. The event will take place in the amphitheater between the Visitor Center and the lake.

Thank you to Bemidji Area Art Endowment for their support of Watermark’s Spoken Word Story Slams.
