Tips & Advice
- If you plan to tell a story, shape it into a five-minute personal account that connects with the holiday-season theme.
- Holiday stories from any season are welcome, so your story need not focus on Christmas.
- Attend as a listener if you do not want to take the open mic; audience members can simply enjoy the show.
- Keep the 16-and-older age restriction in mind when choosing who attends, as younger guests are not eligible for admission.
- Do not count on a WBUR member discount for admission; the event details say member discounts do not apply to The Moth events.
