About The Moth Mainstage

The Moth Mainstage features simple, old-fashioned storytelling by five hand picked storytellers who develop and shape their stories with The Moth’s directors. Each unique lineup of wildly divergent raconteurs explores the night's theme, often in unexpected ways. The series has regular homes in New York and Los Angeles and a growing presence across across the U.S. and beyond.
