THE MOSQUITO STORY SLAM Continues at the Provincetown Theater in 2023

Upcoming performances run through May 14.

THE MOSQUITO STORY SLAM Continues at the Provincetown Theater in 2023

The Mosquito Story Slam will continue their monthly residency at the Provincetown Theater in 2023, setting new dates and themes for a succession of 7PM Saturday night shows at the Outer Cape playhouse now thru April - as well as a special Sunday night show in May in honor of Mother's Day. Co-hosted by Vanessa Vartabedian and William Mullin, from the winter into the spring of this year, the new schedule for Mosquito Story Slam shows will be as follows:

Sat, February 11 - Theme: "What I did for Love"

Sat, March 25 - Theme: "Money, Money, Money"

Sat, April 22 - Theme: "Animals"

Sunday, May 14 - Theme: "Your Mother!"

General seating, all tickets are $20 and - because the show often sells out - we encourage folks to purchase their tickets in advance online at provincetowntheater.org. Doors open at 6:30PM, 7PM show. Free parking. Cash bar open all evening.

For those new to story slams, here's how The Mosquito works: Storytellers from the audience prepare a story (up-to-5-minutes) based on the night's theme. They place their names in the "Mosquito Net" to be picked at random during the evening. Each show will have up to 10 storytellers, chosen from audience participants to get up and "Bite it Live" on stage. Stories are told, not read, though notes and/or props are admissible. Adult language likely. So, give it a chance, sign up, and purchase tickets early.

Review: WITCH provokes at Burbage Theater Co Photo
What did our critic think of WITCH at Burbage Theater Co? In the world of WITCH - written by rising playwright Jen Silverman - demons are self-proclaimed 'merchants of hope' for people whose desires and fears have been forged by capitalism and patriarchy. Scratch (Zach Gibb) - a 'junior salesman' who believes earnestly in the merit of his profession - has been roaming the dark corners of an historically indeterminate Edmonton, where he's been collecting souls in exchange for wishes. It's easy work until he meets Elizabeth (MJ Daly), the town outcast who leads him to reconsider the value of the souls he takes and the deals he makes in exchange for them. After all, what's a wish worth in a system that confines our imaginations within its walls? And wouldn't a soul outside these walls be more valuable - and dangerous - than anything we could conceive from within them?
