This autumn fall for moth stories.
As we travel across the globe for our main stages, we're excited to announce our fall lineup of storytelling shows from New York City to Iowa City, London, Nairobi, and so many more.
The Moth will be performing in a city near you.
Featuring a curation of true stories, the Moth mainstage shows feature five tellers who share beautiful, unbelievable, hilarious, and often powerful true stories on a common theme.
Each one told reveals something new about our shared connection.
To buy your tickets or find out more about our calendar, visit themoth.org mainstage.
We hope to see you soon.
From PRX, this is the moth radio hour.
I'm Sara Austin Janess.
This time we have a live main stage from the Atwood Concert hall in Anchorage, Alaska, which was supported by the Anchorage Concert association and Alaska Public Media.
The show took place in February and it was cold outside, but as you'll hear, the crowd of almost 2000 was very warm.
The theme was twist of fate, and these stories are all from folks who moved to Alaska at some point in their lives.
Here's our host for the night, writer and educator Jacobi Cochran.
Oh, my God.
Y'all are beautiful tonight.
And to be real with you, I can't actually see most of you.
It's very dark.
It's hard as hell to get to this place.
But once you get here, it's pretty damn nice.
This is the 6th time we've hosted a main stage here in Anchorage.
