TELLING STORIES: Fans of “The Moth” can see the show at State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick on October 8.

State Theatre New Jersey presents The Moth Mainstage: TIGHTROPE on Thursday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $34.

The Mainstage tour is The Moth’s signature live show, featuring a carefully curated lineup of tellers — writers, artists, adventurers, community members, and unexpected voices — sharing true personal stories, told live and without notes.

TIGHTROPE is described in a release as “an evening of true stories about what happens when there’s no clear path — only the courage to keep moving forward. Stories of balancing without a net. Trusting your gut. Leaping before you know where you’ll land. Of big gambles and near misses, quiet acts of bravery, and glorious mistakes. Of sending the text, booking the flight, sharing the secret you’ve carried for years, and watching everything change.”

The Moth is a global nonprofit organization that believes in connecting humanity through the power of personal storytelling. Since its launch in 1997, The Moth has presented over 65,000 stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. The Moth produces 600+ live shows annually, as well as the Peabody Award-winning The Moth Radio Hour, and the popular The Moth Podcast.
