Add to Calendar 07/06/2026 7:00 PM 07/06/2026 9:30 PM America/Chicago The Moth Stories - BETTER TOGETHER (Presented by MUBI Fest)

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…

BETTER TOGETHER (Presented by MUBI FEST): Prepare a five-minute story about undeniable synergy and human connection. The push and pull of belonging, finding your better half or being part of a dynamic duo (or trio?...octet, even?! The more, the merrier). The moment someone had your back, or the time you wish they had. Unexpected pairings, dream teams, or terrible twosomes. The coworker you can't live without, or the BFF who broke your heart. Fitting in, taking the lead, lending a hand. Is the sum really greater than its parts? You tell us

With special thanks to our sponsor, WBEZ.
