The Moth returns to PEM this summer! Join us for a live storytelling event with the community on the theme of American Dreams. Prepare a five-minute story for a chance to share onstage, or listen from the audience. 

Theme
AMERICAN DREAMS: Tell us a five-minute story about your lifelong aspiration. Pulling off the impossible or failing in spectacular fashion. Overcoming the odds, shirking expectations, forging your own path, come hell or high water. Give us your big swings, your wildest flights of fancy, your most epic home runs or your dreams dashed and deferred. Does the American Dream still exist? You tell us.

Museum galleries will be closed during this event, but Pressing Importance: Salem and the Declaration of Independence will be open for attendees to explore from 6–6:50 pm.
