NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 15, 2025) — The Moth StorySLAM returns to New Rochelle on Friday, October 17, with an open-mic competition inviting participants to share true, personal five-minute stories on the theme of “Trap.”
The event, held at Trinity St. Paul at 311 Huguenot St., kicks off with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and stories beginning at 7:30 p.m. Anyone can sign up for a chance to tell a story or enjoy the show from the audience.
“Tonight’s theme is… TRAP: Prepare a five-minute story about a speed trap, mouse trap or emotional trap,” the event description states. “Held hostage at your coworker’s Tupperware party, caught in a ponzi scheme, clocked with radar on the highway or ensnared in a maddening tango with a rodent in the pantry. Or tell us how you broke free from psychological ambush, blackmail or a bad blind date.”
The StorySLAM prioritizes first-timers who have never told a story on any Moth stage. “Never told a story on a Moth stage? This SLAM is for you! First-timers who have never told a story on any Moth stage will be prioritized tonight. Long-time listeners, first-time tellers!”
Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis and is not guaranteed. Attendees are advised to arrive at least 10 minutes before the show starts, as admission is not guaranteed for late arrivals. All sales are final, and as many as 10 tickets may be available at the door on a first-come, first-served basis.
Tickets for the event went on sale at 3 p.m. ET on September 17, 2025.
