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…
CHILDISH: Prepare a five-minute story about feeling young. Ditching second period or calling out “sick” from work. Middle school crushes or puppy love that had you feeling 16 again. Chasing ice cream trucks, building pillow forts, and losing stuffed animals. Whether it's temper tantrums, tattle tales, or tumultuous inner-toddlers...it's time to grow up. Tag! (no take backs times infinity)

LIES: Prepare a five-minute story about bending the truth. From little white lies to epic cover-ups. Tell us about the fibs you told, believed, or exposed. Playing fast and loose with the truth, being duped, or getting caught red-handed. Beefing up your resume or flashing your fake ID. Pinocchio, Madoff, Catfish… and maybe you? Cross your heart and hope to lie.
