We tell ourselves stories in order to live.

Joan Didion

What is The Moth?

“The Moth is true stories, told without notes, on stage in front of a live audience. Through live and virtual shows, storytelling workshops, a podcast, Peabody Award-winning Radio Hour, and New York Times Best Selling books, The Moth brings the power of personal storytelling to millions of people each year—creating community and building empathy around the world”

StorySLAM

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. The story must be original and never performed before.
