First Person Arts StorySlam: Hidden Talents Tuesday, March 3rd World Café Live 3025 Walnut St Philadelphia, PA 19104 (215) 222-1400 Doors open at 6:30p.m., show begins at 8:00 Admission: $10.00 http://tickets.worldcafelive.com/eventperformances.asp?evt=2898 First Person Arts presents a special “Hidden Talents” edition of their wildly popular monthly StorySlams! Jean-Michel Basquiat was best known for the graffiti work he did under the SAMO moniker until he was propelled into international recognition by gallery owner Annina Nosei. Nathaniel Ayers was a musical virtuoso hidden in plain sight on the streets of Skid Row until a fateful meeting with reporter Steve Lopez changed his life forever. Do you have a secret ability? Have you ever been surprised by someone else's? Tell us about it! Ten volunteer storytellers will be randomly selected from the audience to tell a true 5-minute story about a hidden talent, and a winner will be picked by a volunteer panel of judges. Check out www.firstpersonarts.org/blog for examples from previous slams. Hosted by DJ Robert Drake and with featuring guest storytellers Ryan T. Barlow and Eun Strawser.
