Who We Are
The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. We celebrate the ability of true, personal storytelling to illuminate both the diversity and commonality of human experience. Our work allows people all over the world and from all walks of life: astronauts, students, a dental hygienist, a hotdog eating champion, a mechanic, exonerated prisoners, veterans, Nobel laureates and everyone in between, to share their stories on stage in front of a live audience. Through live and virtual shows, storytelling workshops, a podcast, Peabody Award-winning Radio Hour, and New York Times Best Selling books, The Moth brings the power of personal storytelling to millions of people each year—creating community and building empathy around the world.

MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND / MAY 9-12, 2024 @ 7:30 & 2:30 PM

Monty Python’s SPAMALOT tells the legendary tale of King Arthur’s quest to find the Holy Grail. Lovingly ripped off from the 1975 classic comedy film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Rotten Tomatoes: 98%). Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a bevy of beautiful show folks, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people.

The 2005 Broadway production won three Tony® Awards, including Best Musical, and was followed by two successful West End runs. The outrageous, uproarious, and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”

MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND: Escape down the rabbit hole in a bright, newfangled tour of Wonderland—with a steampunk, electro-swing twist. Ballet Fantastique Choreographer-Producers Donna and HannahBontrager’s Alice in Wonderland remixes the vivid visions of Lewis Carroll’s classic to life, combining BFan’s signature dance theater storytelling with an electro-swing twist.

Fantastic characters, dauntless invention, and theatrical fancy—and a brave young heroine on an adventure of her own making.

In addition to evening performances Thursday, Friday and Saturday May 9 -11, there is a matinee performance at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 12.
