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…

CLAIM TO FAME:Prepare a five-minute story about your moment in the spotlight. Calling all hometown heroes and local legends — this is your chance to relive your fifteen minutes of stardom. That wild week you accidentally went viral. The day your niche world record made its way into the margins of Guinness. Or own your infamy: Are you the reason they shut down that waterpark slide? Fame is fickle: The world may have moved on, but you haven’t.

Doors Open: 6:30 PM

Show Starts: 7:30 PM
