The spontaneous story slammers who drop their name at every show have scattered their seed randomly throughout the season. At SLAMMER OF THE YEAR, standout story picks from our latest flagship and late-night seasons gathered together like freshly harvested baskets of fruit. Studio guides Jessica Holmes and Patti O'Hara each cultivated teams of five top-ranked story slammers to lead them to market. They first take turns planting seeds on the prompt SOW. Then the audience voted one team's crop of stories through to harvest on the theme REAP. At the end of the show, only one storyteller blooms fully with the winning title of Slammer of the Year.

Stories from Boise's Deaf Community. Hosted by Timothy Blonsky, President of Idaho Association of the Deaf.
James Castle was born deaf, and, while he attended Idaho’s school for deaf and blind children, he never became proficient in reading, writing, or a conventional means of communication. Even so, Castle was clearly passionate about language and communication, and created a large number of works investigating letters, signs, and symbols assembled into dizzying and ever-changing combinations. One of these is his combination of the words "Purse" and "Discusses," which individually don't mean what we think they do and yet, collectively, the piece does communicate.
In honor of James Castle's creative ways of connecting, we celebrate the stories of our incredible deaf community on the back porch of his former house. Tim Blonsky, president of the Idaho Association of the Deaf , will host three featured storytellers intermixed with a community story slam (which is open to all to share on the theme).
Featuring:
Mikkel Nelson
Jo Ann Dobecki Shopbell
Sonny Cabbage
Interpreted for the deaf and hard-of-hearing by LaVona Andrew Carson and Holly Thomas-Mowery
Produced by Jodi Eichelberger
