Each month, we bring Moth and Massmouth winners, along with others from the local community, to share their stories. Do you want to tell your story on our theme? Sign up at the cafe or fill out our form online. We'll get back to you to let you know if you're in. We also invite audience members who are interested in telling a four- to five-minute story on our theme to drop their name in a hat. If chosen, they’ll tell their tale.
March Theme: “ARRIVAL”
Are we there yet? Have you recently arrived at a surprising conclusion? Did you finally take that big step in life you've been avoiding? Have you met little green people? Have you ever waited four days for a boat to take you up the Niger River to Timbuktu — and it was a no show (I have!)?
