First Person Arts StorySlam: Online Dating

What’s your truth about Online Dating?

With romance at your fingertips, dating apps offer you so many choices! But how much real potential?

Tell us all about those cheesy pick-up lines or the dates that ended with “I’d love to do this one more time.”

Share the joys, sorrows, and frustrations that online dating apps can bring.

Join First Person Arts’ own Che Guerrero as he hosts Philly’s original (and best!) storytelling competition. Our scorekeeper Lamarr Todd, Emily Epstein White, local celebrity guest judges, and an audience judge will score the stories and give our storytellers helpful hints on how to improve their tales. The winner takes home $100 and bragging rights until next month.

Come to World Cafe Live on 11/12 for a fun-filled night with stories told by you–our audience–live on stage. The show starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $15. 

Already got an idea brewing and want a guaranteed spot on stage? Pitch us your story at stories@firstpersonarts.org. Please limit your pitch to no more than 100 words.

We choose 4 lucky featured storytellers about two weeks before the show. Each storyteller gets a complimentary 30-minute story coaching session with our expert storytelling coaches. The remaining 3 slots are up to fate on the night of the StorySlam.

Never been to a First Person Arts StorySlam storytelling competition before? No problem. First Person Arts StorySlams are like open mic nights for people who love stories. We provide a theme, and you provide a 100% true, personal story. You’ve got 5 minutes on stage to entertain the “most engaged audience in Philly.” No notes or props allowed.
