The Moth Virtual StorySLAM: Disguises

WBUR is proud to be a media sponsor of The Moth, an acclaimed non-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. The Moth StorySLAM is a virtual "open-mic" storytelling competition, open to anyone with a five-minute story to share on the night’s theme.

The theme of this StorySLAM is "Disguises." Prepare a five-minute story about going undercover. Fake mustaches, heel lifts, cloaks, a nurse's uniform or that giant hotdog costume. Mental disguises, like the Ph.D. you earned to appease your mother; or the "sensitive guy" persona you thought might work in your favor. Chameleon-level concealment. Pranks and mistaken identities. Wolves gussied up like lambs. The Trojan Horse, the Mighty Oz and now ... you!
