Brushes with Fame - Six Word Memoirs on Strange Celebrity Encounters

Nov 17, 2014


With Amy Sohn, David Crabb, Lynn Harris, Anthony Giglio, Joe Levy, Tara O'Grady, and former Ike-ette Joshie Armstead, with host Larry Smith.

In 2006, SMITH Magazine gave Ernest Hemingway’s legendary six-word story (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn”) a personal twist, calling it the Six-Word Memoir.

Now, SMITH Magazine presents a series of storytelling shows. Storytellers each start with a Six-Word Memoir, then reveal the back story in six minutes. At the show’s end, everyone is invited to share their own Six-Word Memoir during a “Six Word Slam.”
