Bainbridge Performing Arts is thrilled and honored to present “A Summer Evening of Stories” with The Moth Founder George Dawes Green and storyteller/host Dan Kennedy” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 23.

The ideal way to experience the style of The Moth is live and in person, where you can feel the electricity in the room and be a part of the visceral dialogue between teller and audience.

Green created the Moth in 1997. He is the author of three highly acclaimed novels: “The Caveman’s Valentine,” which won an Edgar award for Best First Mystery and was made into a movie starring Samuel L. Jackson; “The Juror,” which sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide and was the basis for a film starring Alec Baldwin and Demi Moore; and “Ravens,” which was featured on many Best Novel of the Year lists for 2009.

Kennedy is host of The Moth storytelling podcast, a longtime host and performer at Moth live events, and has spent much of the last

15 years traveling the world writing and performing. His stories have appeared in GQ Magazine, McSweeney’s, and in numerous print anthologies.

Tickets are $25 at www.bainbridgeperformingarts.org, 206-842-8569 or in person at BPA.
