The Moth Mainstage returns to Wharton

In partnership with Michigan Public, The Moth Mainstage returns to the Wharton Center Friday evening, featuring a lineup of writers, performers and storytellers from Michigan and beyond. With the theme “Tightrope,” the show will focus on stories about what happens when the path forward is unclear. 

East Lansing’s Maureen Abood is one of the evening’s storytellers. A Lebanese-American food writer, Abood’s interviews, stories and recipes have appeared in numerous outlets, including The New York Times, Food & Wine magazine and The Splendid Table. Lansing’s Andrea King Collier, an award-winning author, journalist and photographer whose work has been featured in The Oprah Magazine, Essence and Town & Country, will also perform. 

Tickets start at $40, with discounts for students, and are available online.
