Got five minutes? Come and lend an ear, or share an experience! Audience storytellers take to the stage with real life stories on the theme “Too Far.” Winners get $100 prize and a spot in the season finale Grand Slam lineup at the 15th Anniversary First Person Arts Festival (November 2016). Hosted by Chris Lundy.

Now in its 15th year, First Person Arts is Philadelphia’s premiere storytelling organization and the producers of StorySlams, the Annual First Person Arts Festival (Nov. 2016), First Person Arts Podcast, and Applied Storytelling community engagement programs. From such artistic luminaries as Toni Morrison, Janeane Garofalo, and Chef Marcus Samuelsson, to everyday people, FPA presents a diverse array of storytellers in order to foster an appreciation for our unique and shared experiences, and connect us with each other and the world.
