Moth StorySLAM: Persuasion

The Moth believes that everyone has a story. The Moth created StorySLAM to give those stories a forum. Following the wild success of their 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. SLAM 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. SLAM winners later face off in a Moth GrandSLAM. Since 2001, the raucous, moving, funny and wild quilt of themed stories that emerge during each show has kept the crowds coming back again and again.

On the third Tuesday of each month, StorySLAM heads to El Cid. Doors are at 7:00 and stories begin at 7:30. This SLAM's theme: Persuasion.
