Courage

Welcome to the Lancaster Story Slam podcast! In March our theme was “Courage” and boy were we blown away by what our storytellers had to share with us!

Our winner this month was Tony Crocamo with his story about enlisting in the army during the height of the Vietnam War. As always, Tony’s great at throwing unexpected twists into his stories.

Tony’s story not only won him the prized pint glass and spot in the Lancaster Story Slam Grand Slam which will take place in November, but he also was the first storyteller this season to earn perfect scores from the judges! Congratulations, Tony!

Next up is Mandy Mastros, who told us the stories of Daryl, Larry, and Lucy. Mandy’s story demonstrates that sometimes the most courageous act is being willing to share your vulnerability with others.

Next up is Georgine Wood. Georgine’s story was one that took courage to tell. For Georgine it was a personal victory - the kind you might not expect given that she’s telling this story in front of a live audience.

Our final story this month is from Gina Melasecca who told her story of overcoming a life-long phobia... of the “c-word.”

And that’s it for our podcast this month. If you enjoy our podcast, you will probably also enjoy our live events! Our April Story Slam is themed “WTF” and will be held at 7pm on April 23rd. Come out and join us at Zoetropolis. The house has been packed this season, so it’s a good idea to purchase tickets online in advance. Tickets are available at our website.

Thanks for listening!
