Musician Dan Costello performs, and Jessica Holmes hosts the night.
The featured storytellers for "REDEMPTION" are Erin Anchustegui, Al Popwell and Greg Duffy. Anchustegui witnesses a breakdown then a breakthrough after a harrowing breaking free. Popwell faces payback when schoolyard intrigues come back to bite in the boardroom. Duffy recovers the language of connection after a fall.
After an intermission with live music, Patcasso’s Patrick Hunter and Chauncee Mallory will paint a fusion art piece on the theme redemption that will then go as a prize to the story slam winner. In the story slam, names are drawn from a hat, and the chosen few have 5 minutes to tell a true story on the theme. The featured storytellers choose a winner, who receives a prize package from Boise Guest House and Rediscovered Books.
