Inspired by the Moth, the New York City literary organization famous for its unscripted storytelling events, Middlebury Moth-Up holds its ninth annual Cocoon. In a format akin to slam poetry, Middlebury College students, faculty and local community members share true stories centered on the theme of “rebuilding.” Mahaney Arts Center technical director Mark Christensen provides musical interludes, and Moth-Up student leaders Alexandra Burns and Kristen Morgenstern host. Masks and proof of vaccination are required, and the event will be livestreamed for viewers at home.
