THE MOTH MAINSTAGE IN PORTLAND

DECEMBER 12, ARLENE SCHNITZER CONCERT HALL

Literary Arts and The Moth are bringing a new lineup of storytellers to Portland. The Mainstage is the quintessential Moth experience, a two-act show—featuring a musical act—where the storytellers and a notable host share true personal stories, without notes. Experience true stories live as they’re recorded for future episodes of The Moth Podcast and Moth Radio Hour.

Our mission is to engage readers, support writers, and inspire the next generation with great literature.
