After an exciting, sold-out show last summer, The Moth returns to Pittsburgh for an extended two-act Mainstage event. This evening of storytelling features a theme relevant to Pittsburgh’s local culture, five storytellers and musical interludes. SNL writer Jessi Klein will host the event.

Called "New York's hottest and hippest literary ticket" by the Wall Street Journal, The Moth is an acclaimed nonprofit organization dedicated to the art of storytelling. Each Moth Mainstage program features original stories told by a variety of artists and personalities live, without notes. Past storytellers include celebrated writers and actors, as well as folks with true stories to tell—a car salesman, a business executive, a former pickpocket, an astronaut. Of course, when The Moth goes on the road, they pick up local storytellers along the way.

This American Shorts @ WYEP special event is sponsored by West Penn Allegheny Health System and presented in partnership with the New Hazlett Theater and cityLIVE!

Tickets $25, $20
