The Moth

Literary Arts is proud to bring the Moth to Portland! Comedian Tom Shillue will host the event, Made to Be Broken: Stories of Disobedience, on January 18, 2010 at the Gerding Theater at the Armory.

Beginning in 1997, the Moth is a story telling experience based in New York City. Founded by poet and novelist, George Dawes Green wanted to recreate his life in Georgia, where telling and sharing stories with his friends was a routine and interactive occurrence.

The first Moth evening took place in Mr. Green’s apartment and has become one of the most subscribed to and celebrated podcasts in the nation and on the web. Notable writers, actors, and scholars regularly perform and most shows sell out 48 hours after tickets are released.

The Times of London says The Moth is, “one of the hottest events in town… performances are enthralling, funny and moving.” Another rave review is from The Wall Street Journal, which calls The Moth “New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket.”

UPDATE: Tickets for the event have sold out. We are glad to have many Give!Guide donors at the event through a ticket incentive. There are no more tickets available for this special donation incentive.
