South Carolina Storytelling Guilds and Organizations
Anderson Story Slam
Anderson Story Slam is a story telling organization based in Anderson, SC. Our story telling events are held one Monday a month at McGee’s Irish Pub in Anderson. Our “story slams” feature seven storytellers, each sharing a five minute true story. These true stories are drawn from the storyteller’s personal experiences and are told without notes. We hope you will find our events to be one part art, one part community building, and lots of fun! For More Information: Marie Wright, info@andersonstoryslam.org,
