The Monti StorySLAM: Resolutions

The Monti is Durham’s answer to live community storytelling (think: The Moth) and, being wildly popular, themed story slams like this one tend to sell out. Anyone can participate: to sign up, all you need to do is put your name down before the show for a chance to be randomly selected. “Anyone is welcome,” Monti founder and producer Jeff Polish told the INDY over the phone. However, he adds, “It takes a lot of work to tell a great story. I don’t want to say I’m disappointed when someone gets up there completely unrehearsed, but…the bar has been raised. Most people are prepared.” Just resolve to bring your A-game for this night of resolutions, is all we’re saying. —Anna Cassell
