THEME ️
*********
This month our theme is School ✏️ Stories about everything schools, college and universities. Best friends, arch nemeses and classroom chaos. Lessons, seminars and lectures. Schoolyard games and dramas. Detention, run-ins with teachers and sports day. Creches, child minders, and after school clubs. The madness of the school bus, as well as stories of school trips and home-schooling. Bullying, social media and plagiarism. Diaries, textbooks and stolen property. Teachers that changed your life, or teacher that made your life hell. Or perhaps you're a teacher yourself, with stories of lesson planning, wrangling unruly children or mediating teenage angst.
Do you have a story about school? Then come tell us on May 19th at the Wardrobe Theatre.

CONTENT WARNINGS ⚠️
*********
In the interest of making the Story Slam a safe and comfortable place to be, storytellers are able to attach content warnings to their stories, to warn of any sensitive or distressing topics. Details of how to do this will be explained on the day. Content warnings are read out before each story to give people a chance to leave the room if they so wish.
