The Moth Mainstage in Portland

Literary Arts and The Moth are bringing a new lineup of storytellers to Portland! As one of America’s most loved storytelling organizations, The Moth features live storytelling by luminaries in the arts and sciences, newsmakers and news breakers, and everyday heroes (and even a few reformed villains!). Each Moth Mainstage show features five storytellers who developed their true stories with help from The Moth’s directors. This year’s lineup will be announced soon.

Purchase your tickets today and look forward to this year’s Moth Mainstage event.
