Lake Erie Ink Presents GAME NIGHT: Storywars at B Side Thursday, July 18 6:30pm doors / 7pm show 21+ $5 advance / $8 day of show all proceeds will be donated to Lake Erie Ink for continued programming Storywars Cleveland will host this event: Story Wars is an impromptu storytelling event designed to inspire community-based creative action. Storytellers battle it out through three rounds of impromptu writing to be crowned the best story of the night. With only 5 minutes to create, participants are forced to abandon the overthinking and self-doubt that so often interferes with creativity, relying instead on creative instincts to get their story on the page. Enjoy a welcoming and inclusive space for self expression, injected with the enticing energy of friendly competition, in a one-of-a-kind event for creative imagination.  We will be limiting the number of competing writers to 20, based on a first-come-first-served sign up sheet on the day of the event. If you know you want to compete, make sure to get to the venue when doors open in order to sign up!  This is not just an event for writers, however, but for story lovers of all kinds! Story Wars is an entertaining, high-energy, creative event that is just as fun to watch as it is to participate. Think of it as an improv-night-meets-open-mic.  Plus, the entire audience participates in our democratic voting process to crown the winners of the night!"
