Welcome to the Moth Podcast.
I'm Mark Solinger, your host for this episode.
The first play I remember seeing was the Woman in Black.
If you don't know the Woman in Black, it's a horror play about a ghost who well, I don't want to spoil it, but suffice it to say that 11 year old me was scared out of my mind.
Something about the fact that you were mere feet away from the actors, that you were all part of this magic trick of pretend and wonder.
There was nothing like it.
From that moment on, I was enchanted at the Moth.
We know a thing or two about stories on stage, and this episode we're moving to the theater with two stories demonstrating why the play is in fact still the thing.
First up is Rose L.
Who told this at one of our open mic story slams in Houston.
Here's Rose live at the mall.
Forgive me Father, for I will sin.
I was one of those lucky millennial kids whose mom told me that I could do anything I wanted as long as I set my mind to it.
But she qualified it.
She said, I can do anything I wanted as long as I use the gifts that God has given me and I persevere.
