The Moth Returns To Lincoln Center For 7th Collaboration

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — Lincoln Center will host popular storytelling series "The Moth" in October for the seventh collaboration between the performing arts center and the event, Lincoln Center officials announced this week.

The Moth's production of its mainstage show will return to Lincoln Center on Saturday, Oct. 12. The event will be hosted by Moth regular Tara Clancy and feature five storytellers reflecting on the theme of "Tug of War."

All stories shared during The Moth events are true and performed live without the use of notes.

"We are thrilled to once again take the stage at Lincoln Center," Catherine Burns, artistic director at The Moth, said in a statement. "The theme is ‘tug-of-war’—a term that connotes a competition or two opposing forces—but we at The Moth believe that storytelling has the ability to promote stronger connections, greater understanding, and to bring people together."

Tickets for the show went on sale Wednesday, Lincoln Center officials said. Admission to the show costs $30 and tickets can be bought on Lincoln Center's website or in person at Alice Tully Hall on Broadway and West 66th Street.
