The Moth is coming to The Music Hall at Portsmouth as part of their Spring 2026 season! Experience the magic of true stories told live at The Moth Mainstage.

Join us for a night of vibrant true stories. Five storytellers will take the stage to share true stories based on the night’s theme. Experience a unique evening as five voices share personal moments from their lives.

The Mainstage is the quintessential Moth experience, a two-act show —featuring a musical act— where five storytellers and a notable host share true personal moments of their lives, without notes. 

New stories, new tellers, all bold, intimate, and electrifying.
