The theme of “Perfect Storm” at last night’s First Person StorySlam at World Cafe Live took many forms: Sometimes, they were literal squalls with wind gusting and rain gushing, even raining on one storyteller while inside her car. Other times, they symbolized the convergence of events leading to something perfectly wonderful or perfectly horrible (often relating to roommates). For the winning storyteller, it was a little bit of both. Ben Drinen got to play pirate on a 90-foot tugboat amidst a perfect storm of nautical mishaps, including, yes, a tempest at sea.

First Person StorySlams take place every second Monday at World Cafe Live and fourth Tuesday at L’Etage. The next Slam is Tuesday, April 27 at L’Etage. The theme is “Whoppers.” Find more info at www.firstpersonarts.org.

Look for videos of the winning story after each Slam, here on Philebrity. Video by Erika Vonie.
