Currently in our 10th year, The Mosquito has presented hundreds of stories to thousands of audience members at sold-out venues on Cape Cod. Mosquito Story Slams are an opportunity for audience members to participate by telling a 5-6 minute true, personal story based on a theme. In addition,The Mosquito features special guest storytellers and audience favorites.

Many storytellers, public speakers, corporate leaders and writers have benefited by engaging in the process of learning how to artfully craft their stories by taking one of our workshops or private coaching sessions.
