The Moth StorySLAM - at Town Hall Theater

Description

The nationally recognized, award-winning storytelling series THE MOTH is coming to Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater on Tuesday, March 11 at 7pm. Listen to true stories or share your own at this open-mic storytelling competition. The event will be recorded, with select stories potentially broadcast by The Moth Radio Hour on National Public Radio.

The StorySlam theme is BEEF. Prepare a five-minute story about bad blood. The petty grievances that drive you mad, the cold wars waged, long-standing grudges to petty spats, tell us about the rivalries that pushed your buttons. Whether it’s a feud with a neighbor, an old friend turned frenemy, or a silent standoff that’s gone on way too long. Blood-boiling showdowns to simmering passive-aggressive battles. Montagues and Capulets, Sharks and Jets, tell us about the grudges that just won’t quit.

“When it comes to engaging and brilliant storytelling, The Moth never disappoints. Moth performances are the go-to for anyone who has ever wanted to hear the best of the art of storytelling.” -- Forbes

Need some courage to tell your story? The THT bar will be open – and the past two MOTH events at Town Hall Theater featured a highly supportive crowd. “This is a life experience you don’t want to miss,” said Executive & Artistic Director Lisa Mitchell, who is a Moth enthusiast and braved the stage with a story at the first THT Moth StorySlam in 2024.
