True stories, told live, no notes. The theme this year will be High Anxiety: The Moth in Portsmouth with host Dame Wilburn. Featuring a mix of national storytellers and local voices, including luminaries in the arts and sciences, newsmakers and news breakers, and everyday heroes (and even a few reformed villains!) this one-of-a-kind event returns to The Music Hall.
DAME WILBURN is a poet, storyteller, and writer. She is also Chief Marketing Director for Twisted Willow Soap Company. After honing her storytelling abilities by attending the Detroit Waldorf School for ten years and spending summers on the front porch of her grandparents’ home in Macon, Georgia, Dame went on to be a Moth GrandSLAM champion and frequent Moth Mainstage storyteller and host. Dame spends her free time working on her first book. She is married to the most beautiful woman in the world and has four fur babies who are the bane of her existence.
