Add to Calendar 03/16/2026 7:30 PM 03/16/2026 10:00 PM America/New_York The Moth Stories - Recess

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…

RECESS: Prepare a five-minute story about the moments we step back, slow down, or sneak off. That five-minute coffee break that saves your sanity, a smoke break that turns into a heart-to-heart, or a break-up that forces you to finally exhale. Maybe it’s a flash of freedom – kickball in the sun, laughter, scraped knees, and grass stains. Or maybe it’s a recess of the mind, when you drift, reset, and rediscover a small piece of yourself you forgot you had. Play, rest, reset, or rebel. Because sometimes the best parts of life happen between the bells.

Doors Open: 7:00 PM
Show Starts: 7:30 PM

Tickets for this StorySLAM go on sale 3 weeks prior to the show date at 3 PM ET.

“The Moth reminds me how fascinating, brave, complex, and fragile we are. We have so much in common, yet every StorySLAM is unique.”
