The Moth StorySLAM is a live storytelling competition where ordinary people step onto the stage and share true, personal stories inspired by a common theme. For this special edition, “Second Chances,” storytellers will explore the moments when life offered an opportunity to begin again—to make a different choice, repair a mistake, reconnect with someone, take a new direction, or simply try one more time.

Expect an evening filled with humor, vulnerability, surprises, and genuine human connection. Stories may be heartfelt, hilarious, dramatic, awkward, inspiring, or all of the above. The beauty of a StorySLAM is that no two evenings are ever quite the same: the lineup of storytellers and the experiences they bring to the stage create a completely unique night.

Whether you have a story of your own to tell or simply enjoy hearing compelling stories from people in your community, this event offers an intimate and engaging experience. You never know who will take the microphone, what story they will share, or where that story might take the audience.

Public Works provides a lively San Francisco setting for this celebration of spoken-word storytelling, bringing together performers, storytellers, and audience members for a night centered on the power of personal experience.

Come ready to listen, laugh, reflect, and maybe see your own experiences in a new light. For SECOND CHANCES, every story has the potential to remind us that a new beginning can arrive when we least expect it.
