About This Event
Join us for Bonfire’s THIRD Multi-Generational Story Slam at Laxson Auditorium, hosted by Bonnie Pipkin and Denver Nash. The theme of the evening is Dance! Dance! Dance! Audience members will be invited to put their names into the hat to tell their 5-minute stories of slow dances, dance-offs, dance disasters, or anything to do with cutting a rug. There will be judges, cash prizes, a house band led by Heather Leveroni to get your feet tapping, and plenty of surprises along the way. Whether you try for your shot on stage or just come along for the ride, all are welcome when Bonfire Storytelling goes BIG! Dress the FUNK up in your retro prom attire to really catch the vibes. Whether you’ve got two left feet or all the right moves, there’s a place for you at Bonfire.
