Moving On : Curated Personal Story Evening

  • The Mopco Improv Theatre 10 North Jay Street Schenectady, New York, 12305 United States (map)

Everything shifts.

We let go of things; we chart new paths. Whether with intention or unexpectedly, with clarity or stumbling around in the dark, these moments of change and transformation can surprise and delight, bring hope, healing, and teach us about what’s possible,


Join us as we continue our series of curated personal story evenings with a lineup of real-life stories told by real people — poignant, funny, or heartwarming tales that showcase what it means to move on.


Submissions are open! All submissions should be emailed to STORY@MOPCO.ORG with the subject line 'Story Submission' by August 1st at noon. Storytellers who are cast will be informed by August 15 and scheduled for a Zoom rehearsal call. The final roster of storytellers will be made public on or around August 24.


Submission Requirements:
    •    A short (300 words maximum) written summary of the personal story
    •    Story should be approximately 7–9 minutes
    •    A 100 word or less bio of the storyteller, for promotion if their story is chosen
    •    A headshot (does not have to be a professional shot, but should be current and flattering)
    •    Any social media handles
    •    Contact information including email, phone number


All storytellers cast will receive a $30 Mopco gift card and a free drink of their choice as an honorarium.
