The Moth Mainstage
Come to the light, and hear a tale
February 14, 2018
7:30 pm // Atwood Concert Hall
The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. The Moth Mainstage shows are renowned for the great range of human experience they showcase. When The Moth came to Anchorage in 2017, we heard tales about a dog finding its way home from Russia to Nome, a woman finding her way back to herself after losing her husband, and a White House speechwriter who suddenly found himself speechless. The Moth celebrates the raconteur, who breathes fire into true tales of ordinary life, and the storytelling novice, who’s lived through something extraordinary and yearns to share it. We’re teaming again this year with Arctic Entries to feature local voices alongside national favorites. This Valentine’s Day, experience the power of live storytelling with tales that will get your heart pumping.
This show's theme is "State of Affairs: The Moth in Anchorage"
Join The Moth for stories of complicated circumstances, power dynamics, tangled romantic webs, and epic status reports.
Note: The Moth may have adult language and themes. Recommended for ages 18 and older.
