The Raleigh Public Record & Little Raleigh Radio are once again hosting storytelling showdown, the Oak City Bard Brawl! This year’s theme is What About the Future, where contestants will spin yarns about how their once-image of a future Raleigh has measured up with reality.
Come out Apr. 9 to Kings Barcade to be a part of the action. Competitors get five minutes to wow the audience, and the audience gets to help decide which six go on to the final event in the spring.
