THE MOTH PRESENTS: Live Storytelling at Town Hall Theater

Description

The nationally recognized, award-winning storytelling series THE MOTH is coming to Middlebury’s Town Hall Theater (THT) on Tuesday, March 24 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 Moth at THT is part of a biannual series raising the voices of local storytellers.

The StorySlam topic is FUMBLES AND FOULS.  Prepare a five-minute story about the moment you dropped the ball. Oops, I did it again or did I do thaaaat? Tryouts, rehearsals, interviews, or dates. The highest of stakes or the lowest of lows. The failures you've learned from or the wrongs you won't admit. The times you let your team down or compared yourself to the GOAT on the court. Shoot your shot!

“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

Stories must be summarized in five minutes, and have a clear beginning, middle, and end. For tips and tricks on Moth storytelling, please visit https://themoth.org/.
