The Moth Mainstage

The Moth Mainstage

This Spring, globally beloved storytelling institution, The Moth, is bringing its Mainstage show to Portsmouth.

For ONE night, five seasoned storytellers will share extraordinary, true stories that dig deep into the idea of the American Dream.

Does it even exist anymore? FOR WHO? What happens when the dream rubs up against reality? What happens when it’s dashed or deferred? And what happens when the dream comes true?

Come together, sit shoulder to shoulder, and listen to people sharing hilarious, moving, illuminating, astounding stories of their very own American Dreams.
