EAST LANSING, Mich.– 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.
The Moth has presented more than 3,000 stories, told live and without notes, by people from all walks of life to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. Each Moth performance features simple, old-fashioned storytelling by five wildly divergent raconteurs who develop and shape their stories with The Moth's director. The Moth Radio Hour debuted in 2009 and delights audiences on more than 200 stations nationwide.
On Thursday, June 9 at 7:30p.m. The Moth returns to Wharton Center. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, March 30 at 10:00a.m. at Wharton Center’s official ticketing outlets: online at whartoncenter.com, at the Auto-Owners Insurance Ticket Office at Wharton Center, or by calling 1-800-WHARTON.
