The Moth Mainsta­ge

The Performance

Join WFYI Live for The Moth Mainstage on Wednesday, May 21 at 7:30 p.m. at Hilbert Circle Theatre. 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-five history, The Moth has presented more than 50,000 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 100 million times a year, and The Peabody Award-winning The Moth Radio Hour, airs weekly on more than 575 public radio stations nationwide. Each Moth Mainstage features simple, old-fashioned storytelling, by five wildly divergent raconteurs who develop and shape their stories with The Moth’s artistic team.

The WFYI Live event series is sponsored by Busey Bank, Lumina Foundation and Plews Shadley Racher & Braun.
