The Moth Will Return To Maplewood in 2020; Got A Story?

MAPLEWOOD, NJ —In the last few years, The Moth, an open-mic storytelling series, has held sold-out events around the country, with participants landing book deals. The series was even featured in an episode of Lena Dunham's HBO TV series "Girls." And last year, Boo Trundle hosted a successful series at the South Orange-Maplewood adult school, according to Matters Magazine.

Apparently, The Moth will return for 2020.
