Kienle Center Story Slam

October 15, 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm

Jason Plotkin speaking behind a microphone on a stage with audience sitting at tables in front

Bring your family and friends and join us for a night out while you listen to personal stories from our colleagues and friends, and maybe share a story of your own.

Penn State Health and College of Medicine students, employees, families and friends are invited to attend the fourth Kienle Center Story Slam, a gathering where anyone can take a turn at the microphone and tell a true story based on the night’s theme. Three judges are chosen from the audience and each storyteller is given scores based on content and presentation. The competition aspect of the events is light-hearted!

Stories are shared with no notes, no props, no music. They are true, speak to the theme, and are 5-6 minutes long.

The Night’s Theme: “Bearing Witness”

Hosted by Jason Plotkin, PSH and COM Photographer, Marketing and Communications.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Dinner and drinks available for purchase and served before and during the show.

Have a story to share? Sign up at the door.

Registration appreciated but not mandatory, walk-ins welcome. 

For more information visit us on the web or email Aleax Olivera.
