StoryTree is a safe space for people of all races, nationalities, immigration-status, genders, sexualities, and abilities. As such, we do not platform work that endorses bigoted views.

Access info: The Bungalow is partially wheelchair accessible. The front entrance has stepped access with a banister; wheelchair users can enter the building via the stage door. There is unfortunately no disabled/wheelchair accessible bathroom. However, the bathrooms each have one larger stall with supports. A stool will be available for performers who need to sit for their performances. The Bungalow is a nut-free venue.

If you have any access concerns, questions, or requests, please include them in "Anything else you would like to mention". 

*Competitors from our previous slam are welcome to sign up, however, priority will be given to those who haven't competed with us before. If more than 10 poets sign up the names of previous competitors will be removed from the random selection.
