'The Moth' Storytellers To Return To Lincoln Center In April

UPPER WEST SIDE, MANHATTAN — Storytelling nonprofit The Moth will return to Lincoln Center next month for another installment of its "Mainstage" event.

"The Moth Mainstage," which features five storytellers, is scheduled for April 9 at the Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center. The event is the latest installment of a Moth storytelling series at Lincoln Center and is one of several scheduled in New York City over the next few months.

"Join us for an evening of stories, shared live at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, as five storytellers take the stage and share a true, personal story from their life," the event posting reads. "Joy and heart, in equal measures. Stories of glory and defeat, taunting fate, laughing in the face of danger, and the moments that forever changed the course."

The Moth's Mainstage events, unlike their open-mic style series, feature five storytellers who develop and shape their stories with the organization's directors.

"Beyond theater, The Moth Mainstage is a community where entertainment and enlightenment merge," according to the nonprofit.

As of Thursday, the Lincoln Center event was not cancelled or postponed due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus in New York City. The Moth has said that it will conduct business as usual while monitoring developments about COVID-19 closely.

Attendees should check specific event location or page for updates.
