The Moth Chicago StorySLAM: AMERICAN DREAMS
The Moth Chicago StorySLAM: AMERICAN DREAMS
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…
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 matriach can deliver. Explore our motherly ties and those before them that shape our worldview and makes you you.
With special thanks to our sponsor, WBEZ.
