Live to Tell explores the art and craft of storytelling in such a way that readers can explore the dynamic between the written page and the live stage. The scripts for six award-winning tales are anthologized in this collection, with links to live performances from storytelling competitions, including The Moth StorySLAM.

Additionally, Live to Tell brings storytelling into the ESL, high school, and college classroom, providing excellent opportunities to learn spoken English and reflect on the elements that make up a lively tale told in an animated way.

This collection will inspire students and storytellers alike to bring their own personal narratives to life--and possibly even to the stage.
