In the spirit of New York’s original “The Moth” storytelling slams, we will debut “The Earwig,” an open-mic night for sharing and/or listening to 5-minute, true personal stories on a set theme and then vote on audience favorite! This night’s theme will be ROCK – interpret that anyway you want. Learn, share, entertain, grow, and just maybe win a prize. I’ll go first to get the ball (or stone) rolling.
