The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show!

Tonight’s theme is…

ELBOW GREASE: Prepare a five-minute story about rolling up your sleeves. Putting in long hours, burning the midnight oil -- the blood, sweat and tears. A "make it work!" moment. Toiling over your final paper, or going all out on that science project. Clearing out the attic, cleaning those windows, getting under the hood. Sometimes it is broke and needs fixing!

Doors Open: 6:00 PM

Show Starts: 7:00 PM
