ADAM HOSTS A BIG SHOW THIS MONDAY!
The MOTH invites you to:
New York Stories
Featuring Graduates of the MothSHOP Community Program
Monday, May 14th
High school may not always be a good time, but it sure leads to great stories-and produces compelling, hilarious, and creative storytellers. Join The Moth for a funky, fast-paced night of tales told by the talented students of Bard and Millennium high schools, accompanied by the always irreverently fabulous Adam Wade, and the musical spinnings of SUPERVIXEN.
Hear about first pets and first Harley rides, be transported from a Polish farm to the coat-check room of a posh Tribeca restaurant, and if you think having one mom is tough, wait until you find out what it's like to have four. Whatever the topic, these stories will move you-whether they pick you up, push you down, or just plain spin you around.

About the MothSHOP Community Program:
The MothShop Community Program brings storytelling workshops to teen and adult populations in New York City. The workshops are designed to help graduates shape their life experiences into well-crafted narratives and to provide tools for improved communication skills through the art of storytelling. This show features stories from students at The Bard High School Early College and The Millennium High School.
Featuring Students from:
The Bard High School Early College (BHSEC)
The BHSEC was founded in 2001 as an alternative to the traditional high school and is a collaboration between the New York City Department of Education and Bard College. The BHSEC was founded on the belief that many young people are ready and eager to do serious college work at age 16. It enables highly motivated students to move in four years from ninth grade through the first two years of college, earning the associate of arts (A.A.) degree as well as a high school diploma.

and
The Millennium High School (MHS)
MHS was founded in 2002; it provides a rigorous liberal arts academic program in a youth development partnership with the YMCA of Greater New York. MHS prepares graduates for a college of choice and empowers students through the setting and reaching of goals. The Millennium High School also believes in teacher leadership and provides an extensive professional development program focused on content, pedagogy, and youth development / advisement.
