The Moth – hailed as “New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket” by The Wall Street Journal – is an acclaimed not-for-profit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling. In its twenty-year history, The Moth has presented more than 35,000 stories, told live and without notes, by people from all walks of life to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. The Moth Podcast is downloaded more than 61 million times a year, and The Peabody Award-winning The Moth Radio Hour, airs weekly on more than 492 public radio stations nationwide. Each Moth Mainstage features simply, old-fashioned storytelling, by five wildly divergent raconteurs who develop and shape their stories with The Moth’s directors.

The two performances at Memorial Hall will feature the same storytellers each night. Deonna Marie will be one of the featured storytellers for both nights.
