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…

ARMOR: Prepare a five-minute story about protective layers. Helmets or shields, thick skin or a shatterproof ego. The battle-ready blazer, the deep breath and bright smile before dinner with your mother, the comeback to that awkward question. Regale us with tales of wards, big and small…and fighting your way past a hard shell to get to the soft spot in the middle.

Doors Open: 6:00 PM

Show Starts: 7:00 PM
