What is a 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. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show.
Tonight’s Theme
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.
Presenting Sponsor
The Moth is supported by the global streaming service MUBI and MUBI Fest Chicago. From July 10 to 12, celebrate cinema, music and art through exclusive screenings and live events at The Salt Shed, Music Box Theatre and Gene Siskel Film Center. Learn more about the festival HERE.
