The Moth Mainstage brings the celebrated art of true storytelling to live theater, featuring real people sharing extraordinary moments from their ordinary lives without scripts or notes. Born from a small gathering in a Georgia living room in 1997, The Moth has grown into a global phenomenon, inspiring the hit podcast, radio show, and bestselling books while maintaining its intimate, authentic spirit. The organization has cultivated a unique form of performance that sits at the intersection of theater, journalism, and human connection, proving that everyone has a story worth telling.
Expect an evening of raw, unfiltered humanity as five storytellers take the stage to share personal tales of triumph, heartbreak, discovery, and transformation. Each story is crafted and rehearsed but delivered with the spontaneity and vulnerability of lived experience. The atmosphere is warm and communal, with audiences laughing, gasping, and sometimes tearing up together. Whether you're drawn to memoir, comedy, or simply love hearing about the human experience, The Moth creates space for stories that might never be told elsewhere, performed by teachers, doctors, veterans, immigrants, and dreamers from all walks of life.
This touring production brings The Moth's signature storytelling format to intimate theaters across the country, creating the same magical atmosphere that has made their New York shows legendary. The tour allows audiences nationwide to experience the power of live storytelling in beautifully appointed venues, from historic theaters to modern performance spaces. Each show features locally-sourced stories alongside Moth favorites, ensuring that every performance feels both universal and deeply rooted in the community where it's being performed.

Silva Concert Hall stands as the intimate classical music jewel within Eugene's renowned Hult Center for the Performing Arts. This dedicated concert venue serves as the primary home for symphonic performances, chamber music, and solo recitals, creating an environment specifically designed for the nuanced demands of acoustic music.

The hall's design prioritizes acoustic excellence and visual intimacy, ensuring that every seat offers both clear sightlines and pristine sound quality. Audiences experience classical music as it was meant to be heard, with natural acoustics that allow the subtle dynamics and tonal colors of orchestral and solo performances to shine through.
