The Moth Mainstage in St. Paul: AMERICAN DREAMS

By popular demand, The Moth Mainstage returns to St. Paul this June with a night of unforgettable stories.

For one night only, five extraordinary storytellers will share true tales exploring the theme of American Dreams. Do they even exist anymore? For whom? 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?

A veteran returning home. A poet swinging big for love. A farmer staking it all on her herd. Stories of American Dreams, in all their heartbreak and hope.

The evening features new stories alongside favorites from the archive, as told by beloved Moth storytellers Jackie Andrews, Alistair Bane, John Paul Brammer, George Sumner, and Renita Walls.  Jon Goode hosts, joined by a musical guest.   If you’ve ever lost yourself in The Moth Radio Hour, or had a “driveway moment” listening to The Moth Podcast, this is your opportunity to experience what it feels like to be in the room.
