The Moth Story Tour: Out On a Limb-Stories from the Edge October 15, 2006

The Moth, “New York’s hottest and hippest literary ticket” (The Wall Street Journal), makes its first appearance in Seattle! The evening features several well-known raconteurs, including Dan Savage, Sherman Alexie, and Jonathan Ames, as well as other favorite storytellers from New York city including Sherman OT Powell (retired pickpocket), Steve Osborne (NYPD lieutenant), and Michaela Murphy (writer and director of Something Blue). Author and storyteller par excellence Jonathan Ames, hosts the evening. Each participant tells a ten-minute, first-person narrative without script or notes. Audience members and storytellers continue swapping stories over beer and wine (available for purchase) after the show. The Moth Story Tour is presented by TNT. Co-presenters are Kiehl's and The Stranger. For personal reasons, Sherman Alexie has cancelled his appearance as part of the Moth. Award-winning author David Guterson joins the tour in his place. Guterson is the author of Snow Falling on Cedar, East of the Mountains, Our Lady of the Forest, and The Country Ahead of Us, the Country Behind.
