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…

LIES: Prepare a five-minute story about bending the truth. From little white lies to epic cover-ups. Tell us about the fibs you told, believed, or exposed. Playing fast and loose with the truth, being duped, or getting caught red-handed. Beefing up your resume or flashing your fake ID. Pinocchio, Madoff, Catfish… and maybe you? Cross your heart and hope to lie.

Doors Open: 6:00 PM

Show Starts: 7:00 PM
