Queens Botanical Garden is partnering with The Moth for two special storytelling events this June!

On Thursday, June 18, at 6:30pm, we’ll gather under the covered patio for an open-mic StorySLAM! Come to enjoy the show or for the chance to put your name in the hat to tell a 5-minute story on our theme, Summer Solstice: stories about letting the light in, embracing change, and the pivotal moments that stay with you long after the season shifts.

The Moth Community StorySLAM is a project of the Moth Community Engagement Program, meant to create a welcoming space for hearing and sharing stories. Tickets are donation-based, and stories are not judged or scored.

6:00 pm - Doors Open
6:30 pm - Stories Begin

Tickets $6 (includes Garden admission)

By registering for a ticket, you are opting in to receive email messages from The Moth on local events, membership news, donations, and general information about Moth stories and storytelling workshops.
