The Moth

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.

PEM Presents seeks to surprise and delight audiences with world-class artistry in music, theater, dance, film and more. This series allows audiences to learn about the artistic process and supports the development of artists with local, regional, national and global perspectives. PEM Presents further activates the museum as a global center for art, culture and creativity with artist residencies, live performances, lecture series, symposia and conferences. PEM Presents is a collaboration between Learning and Community Engagement and the Present Tense initiative.

PEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation.
