SUMMARY: “The Moth believes that everyone has a story. The Moth created StorySLAM to give those stories a forum. Following the wild success of our Mainstage series, The Moth sought to accommodate all the people who asked, “When can I tell my story?” and to encourage those people who doubted they had a story worth telling. The Moth StorySLAM provides a stage and a microphone, a theme to inspire and shape the evening, a lively and supportive audience, and a host to guide the festivities. Stories are limited to five minutes, and ten stories are heard. The stories are scored by three teams of audience-member judges, and a winner is announced at every SLAM.”

She’s an air-headed porn star and hooker? Time for Redemption, with running commentary from an actual Greek chorus led by F. Murray Abraham and tour de farce performance by Oscar-winning Mira Sorvino.”
