The Moth StorySLAM: Caretakers

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!

October’s theme is...

CARETAKERS: Prepare a five-minute story about those who go the extra mile. Selfless moms and dutiful dads, family members who care for the young and old 24/7 or strangers and loved ones who step up in a pinch. Love, duty, blood, sweat, and tears. The acts of service or obligation that are too often invisible to everyone except those on the receiving end. The labor of care that is unpaid but priceless. The playlist that got you through a rough patch, the post-op meal train that kept you nourished. Did someone save the day with tough love or a couch to crash on? Who did you nurse through a rough patch? We all need someone we can lean on...

Tickets for this StorySLAM go on sale 3 weeks prior to the show date at 3 PM ET.

Seating is not guaranteed and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the show. Admission is not guaranteed for late arrivals. All sales final. At least 10 tickets may be available at the door for all of our StorySLAMs on a first-come, first-served basis.
