The Moth: Boston StorySLAM: KEEPING THE FAITH

The Moth’s Boston StorySLAM: KEEPING THE FAITH is a community-centered, open-mic storytelling competition at the Center for Arts at the Armory. Anyone may sign up to share a true, five-minute story inspired by the evening’s theme, with storytellers competing before a live audience.

This month’s theme explores faith in its many forms: believing without proof, taking a hopeful risk, experiencing unexpected kindness, maintaining rituals, weathering difficult periods, and discovering whether one’s beliefs have been strengthened or shaken.
