KCRW & The Santa Barbara Independent Present The Moth Mainstage

Presented by KCRW and The Santa Barbara Independent, the Moth’s celebration of inspiring, harrowing, and courageous live stories is returning to Santa Barbara. What began as a modest storytelling collective in its founder’s living room has grown into an epic, nationwide phenomenon with a cult-like following. Five hand-picked Moth Mainstage all-stars will tie together the brilliant and the absurd for a spellbinding evening at the historic Lobero Theatre on Thursday, April 7th. Since each story is true and every voice authentic, the show dances between documentary and theater, creating a unique, intimate, and often enlightening experience for the audience.
