(STORYTELLING) The Moth, a storytelling salon from New York City, assumes that everyone has one excellent story and, to that end, puts professional raconteurs and everyday folk on stage to tell their best yarn in 10 minutes without script or notes. Seattle's Dan Savage and Sherman Alexie join a NYPD lieutenant, a retired pickpocket, and writers Michaela Murphy and Jonathan Ames for a night of fat chewin' and jaw flappin'. (Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave, 800-838-3006. 7:30 pm, $10—$12.)
