ABOUT THE THEME: We’ve all had surprises. They can be the best or worst thing imaginable. An act of kindness that warmed your heart. A medical scare that changed your forever. The prank that you’re gang is still talking about twenty years later. We want to hear how you faced the unexpected and how it all turned out.
ABOUT THE SHOW: Join us to listen to storytellers and humor writers form around the region tell true personal tales on the monthly theme in a Moth-inspired format. Plus opportunities to participate if you dare!

Entry fee includes pie tasting, beverages, and great entertainment!  We sell out many months, so be sure to buy your tickets early!

***PIE UPDATE:
For logistical reasons, this evening’s pie service will be a pie “social” rather than a bake-off. Everyone gets to enjoy one slice of pie with admission. There’ll be no voting on pies tonight.
Admission is still free if you bring a pie BUT YOU MUST NOTIFY US at least two days in advance to receive your free admission.

ABOUT THE THEME: Sometimes passion takes time. Remember how long it took you to get up the nerve to approach that crush! What was it that led you to fall in love with an artist, or make art your life’s pursuit? How long did it take to master your field of expertise, or maybe you still ‘fake it til you make it’? Did you find a hobby that makes the rest of life bearable? An enduring commitment to making the world a better place or was it an infatuation long past? It takes time to fall hard – for a partner, for your calling, for a pastime. We want to hear about the long slow road you followed on the way to your passion.
