As part of our 5 year anniversary celebration, we are hosting an online contest. Read all about it below, but first – watch these unbelievable true stories.
The above playlist illustrates the top 24 best stories from the past 3 years of Better Said Than Done storytelling. Each contestant in our online competition nominated their own favorite story. These are stories chosen by storytellers for fans of storytelling. Doesn’t get any better than that.
And now that I assume you watched all 24 true, personal stories, read how to participate in the contest below, and we’ll see you at the show on May 28th!
Since 2011, Better Said Than Done has brought the art of storytelling to Northern Virginia, with almost 100 performers taking to the stage to entertain audiences with their true, personal stories. Now, we are holding a two-part competition to mark our 5th anniversary. Part One is an online competition which will determine who goes on to perform and compete in Part Two, the anniversary show, “Best in Show”. “Best in Show” will be performed at Jammin’ Java, at 6:30 PM, on Saturday, May 28, 2016. Doors open at 5:00 PM. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased in advance at jamminjava.com or at the door. Full bar and dinner menus are available and seating is limited to first come, first served. (The stories are intended for an adult audience.)
Part One
More than 20 storytellers submitted videos (one per storyteller) of their top Better Said Than Done story performances. Now it’s up to you to view the videos and vote for your favorite story at www.bettersaidthandone.com/contest. Voting is open from March 15, 2016 through April 15, 2016. The 10 storytellers receiving the most votes will be announced on April 18, 2016, and they will advance to Part Two of Better Said Than Done’s 5th anniversary competition.
Part Two
The finalists in our 5th anniversary competition, as chosen by you in Part One, will perform in “Best in Show” on May 28, 2016, at Jammin’ Java in Vienna. The storytellers will be telling an original, never-before-told story at this show, which is also a contest. Each audience member will cast his or her vote for their favorite story of the night to elect the winner of “Best in Show.”
