Following its sold-out Cleveland debut last year, The Moth Mainstage returns to Severance Music Center for a night of live storytelling and unforgettable personal journeys. In this two-part program, punctuated with musical interludes, five extraordinary storytellers share true stories inspired by the festival theme of courage. Through tales of risk and resilience, of stepping into the unknown, and of finding courage amid fear, this quintessential Moth experience offers an evening of intimate connection and shared humanity.
