From public nudity to the politics of celebrity, no topic was off limits at the Moth storytelling event on Saturday.

The Moth has only a few rules, but they set the stage for everything else: real stories told with no notes or props of any kind. On Saturday at the Tabernacle, five storytellers did just that.

Four storytellers took the Tabernacle stage on Saturday evening as part of The Moth, sharing stories about events that shaped their lives.

The Moth returns to the Vineyard on Saturday, August 5, at the Tabernacle. The theme of the evening is twist of fate:

This year’s theme for The Moth on Martha’s Vineyard was Into the Wild. The show was dedicated to stepping outside one’s comfort zone, which in a sense every Moth show embodies.

The Moth Mainstage on Martha’s Vineyard returns to the Island on Wednesday.
