“A right heart exceeds all.” – Benjamin Franklin

Join The Moth for stories of We The People. Ties that bind and differences that challenge. Imperfect harmonies, beautiful dissonance, and the brave crossings we make from one to the other.

And more!

The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. The Moth celebrates the ability of stories to honor both the diversity and commonality of human experience, and to satisfy a vital human need for connection. It seeks to present recognized storytellers among established and emerging writers, performers and artists and to encourage storytelling among communities whose stories often go unheard.

The Moth Mainstage is a community where entertainment and enlightenment merge featuring five tellers who develop and shape their stories with The Moth’s directors.
