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! Tonight’s theme is…

DISASTERPIECE: Prepare a five-minute story about a failure so epic, it became a work of art. A magnificent misfire. A glorious flop. Throwing spaghetti at the wall and failing upward. That last-minute improvisation that was mistaken for genius, so you just went with it. Whether it’s a community rallying after a natural disaster, a seeming setback that unexpectedly changed your life for the better, or an April Fools’ prank that sparked a reconciliation — paint us your disasterpieces!

Step into the glamour of Golden Age Hollywood and help solve a star studded whodunit at Chicane in Plymouth.

Doors open at 6 p.m., dinner is served at 6:30 p.m., and the game begins at 7 p.m.

For $75 per person, guests enjoy family style seating, a choice of premium entree and two sides, and a cash bar. Period attire is encouraged as you mingle with studio bosses, starlets and leading men straight out of Hollywood’s golden era.

Known for its creative menus and stylish atmosphere, Chicane provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of intrigue, fine dining and cinematic suspense. As you move between courses, follow the trail of clues and rivalries to see if you can unmask the culprit before the final curtain falls.

Between courses, you’ll sift through whispered rumors, tantalizing clues, and jealous rivalries worthy of the silver screen. Was it the fading idol desperate for one last close-up, the ambitious ingénue with everything to gain, or the charming leading man hiding a past scandal? Follow the trail of evidence, interrogate the cast of suspects, and see if you can unmask the culprit before the final curtain falls.

Reservations are required. To book your seat at the mystery, call Chicane at (734) 228-6888.

Ten original ten-minute plays presented at each performance.
 
We have all experienced time in a waiting room or waiting area. As we wait for whatever it is we are there for, there are usually others waiting too – each with a story of their own. Why are they there? What news will they hear? Are they there with or about a loved one? Will their visit result in a life-changing perspective? These are just some of the scenarios audience members will experience at Grosse Pointe Theatre’s TAKE TEN: Ten-Minute Play Festival, running May 1-3, at St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Grosse Pointe Woods. The theme of this year’s Play Festival is The Waiting Room.

This year’s Play Festival attracted the attention of 343 playwrights from ten countries who submitted a ten-minute play for consideration. All plays were screened to make sure playwrights followed the theme, criteria, and minimal set requirements. The narrowed list of plays was then sent to independent judges. The judges’ ten top-ranked plays will be presented at Grosse Pointe Theatre's 2026 Ten-Minute Play Festival May 1-3. 

Join us for this creative performance experience. Tickets are $15. Visit www.gpt.org/playfest to reserve tickets or call 313-881-4004. Seating is limited.

Total performance time is 2 hours and 15-minutes with intermission. Some content is PG13.

I GOT IT FROM MY MAMA: Prepare a five-minute story about what runs in the family. From memorized Sunday sauces to generational trauma wrapped in questionable traditions. Fashion tips and whispered warnings. Sharp tongues and sharper cheekbones. Tell tales of inherent humor, proud features, warm embraces and the advice only a matriarch can deliver. Explore our motherly ties and those before them that shape our worldview and make you, you.

George Lopez’s multi-faceted career encompasses television, film, stand-up comedy, literature, and late-night television. Lopez has broken ground for Latino comics by embracing his ethnicity, confronting racial stereotypes, and fighting for his community on and off the stage.

Lopez created, starred in, produced and wrote for multiple television shows loosely based on his life and family. These included Lopez vs Lopez, featuring his real-life daughter, Mayan, as well as the groundbreaking hit sitcom George Lopez. The latter of the two ran for six seasons on ABC and remains a hit with viewers on both broadcast stations and Nick at Nite. Lopez has also lent his voice to a string of hit animated films, including Smurfs and Beverly Hills Chihuahua. 

In May 2004, Lopez’s autobiography Why You Crying? became a New York Times Bestseller. More recently, he released the third installment of his middle-grade novel series, ChupaCarter and the Curse of La Llorona. The series blends humor, folklore, friendship, and mystery.

An icon and advocate for Latino representation, Lopez was the focus of the award-winning documentary Brown is the New Green: George Lopez and the American Dream. In 2005, Time named him one of the 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America and the Harris Poll named him one of the Top Ten Favorite Television Personalities. The following year, Lopez received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He is currently performing stand-up across the country on his comedy tour.
