About the Show

The Moth presents the Chicago GrandSLAM, a battle of wits and words – fierce, hilarious, heartbreaking, and all points between.

The night’s theme is BETWEEN THE LINES:
Listen as ten StorySLAM champions tell tales of exploring the subtext of it all: finding meaning in the margins, going off book, or defining adventure on their own terms.

The Moth is dedicated to finding people from all walks of life to tell inspired stories. At The Moth StorySLAM, those people find us. On this night, using words as weapons, winners from our StorySLAM series compete to determine The Chicago GrandSLAM Story Champion.

Each ticket purchase includes a copy of The Moth’s new book, How to Tell a Story: The Essential Guide to Memorable Storytelling from The Moth coming out on April 26, 2022! In celebration of The Moth’s 25th anniversary, How to Tell a Story is the definitive guide to crafting an unforgettable story in any setting. Whether your goal is to make it to The Moth stage, deliver the perfect wedding toast, wow clients at a business dinner, give a moving eulogy, ace a job interview, be a hit at parties, or simply connect more deeply to those around you, stories are essential. The book will be distributed to ticket holders the night of the GrandSLAM.

Dante 360

Midway upon the journey of our life, I found myself within a forest dark, for the straightforward pathway had been lost.” 

And so we all begin—in darkness.

Join Dante on his most famous journey through the depths of hell, levels upon levels of purgatory, finally discovering the light and glory of paradise. You will find terror in the wild beasts he meets along the way; and only moments later great hope at the strong woman, Beatrice, who leads him always upwards.

This contemporary staged performances of one of the most epic stories of the western world is an immersive, multi-dimensional production that leads you into Dantes universe. Returning to the stage for the 4th year, this year’s production.

Its heaven. It’s hell. But above all, it’s worth the trip.
