You hear The Moth Radio Hour - true stories, told live - Sunday nights at 6 on KALW. Now, you can be part of The Moth experience in person, at The Moth StorySLAM in San Francisco.

When the doors open, storyteller hopefuls put their names in The Moth "hat". A half hour later, names are picked, and one by one, storytellers take the stage. Each StorySLAM has a winner. And after ten slams, the winners face off in our GrandSLAM Championships.

Tickets are $8 and are now on sale for the next slam this Thursday, June 27th. Doors open at 6:45pm and the stories begin at 7:30. The theme? Trust.
