StorySlam Oakland presents: Advice

StorySlam Oakland presents: Advice

About

StorySlam Oakland presents: "Advice"
StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show. Where ordinary people get up on stage and tell true stories from their life on a theme. February's theme is "Advice."
Come tell us a 5-minute true story about some memorable advice you received or gave. Life lessons, relationships, marriage, and parenting, work or retirement — anything goes as long as you tell us the story behind it and what happened.
(But please save your medical stories for another audience!)
Unasked for advice, a suggestion you were compelled to make, an online review that swayed you. We could all use some funny advice stories! Or just listen and laugh. Note: not all stories may be funny. Sometimes advice turns out to be tragic.
Stories for open-mic telling must be true about the personal experience of the storyteller and 5 to 6 minutes or less. For complete guidelines visit https://storyslamoakland.com.
Featured Storyteller:
Eva Schlesinger is a well-known Bay Area storyteller who you may have seen onstage at The Moth or other StorySlam Oakland shows. But we're giving her a long rein to tell us a more elaborate story as our Feature. Eva is a writer and humorist who is beloved for her memorable style. If life is an ever-changing river, Eva has the rare ability to take its pebbles and sand and create story gold.
