Listen to true stories or share your own at The Moth's open-mic storytelling competition sponsored by BPR.

August's theme: "Childish"

Prepare a five-minute story about feeling young. Ditching second period or calling out “sick” from work. Middle school crushes or puppy love that had you feeling 16 again. Chasing ice cream trucks, building pillow forts, and losing stuffed animals. Whether it's temper tantrums, tattle tales, or tumultuous inner-toddlers...it's time to grow up.

When: Thursday, August 21 | Doors at 6:30 p.m., show at 7:30 p.m.
Where: The Grey Eagle in Asheville
Tickets: $15 via The Grey Eagle
