Tony Award winner Joanna Gleason will be among the performers at The Moth, a special one-night event of storytelling, to take place at 7:30pm on Saturday, October 6 at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut. The event will be hosted by Tony Hendra, best known for his work in This is Spinal Tap; additional performers will include Michael Morand, a vice president of Yale University.

Each Moth show is organized around a theme and features five or six storytellers, each of whom share personal and true spellbinding tales. The theme this year is “Stories of Rescue and Redemption,” featuring tales of risk, dangerous predicaments, and nick-of-time salvation.

Gleason won the Tony Award for her role as The Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods. She has also appeared on Broadway in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Real Thing, I Love My Wife and Joe Egg.

Tickets to The Month include a post-show reception. To order, call 203-787-4282 or visit www.longwharf.org.
