Adam Gopnik, Ana Del Castillo and More Set for ALL THESE WONDERS: THE MOTH at Lincoln Center

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts presents All These Wonders: The Moth at Lincoln Center on March 29, 2017, at 7:30 pm in Alice Tully Hall.

This special evening celebrates the release of THE MOTH PRESENTS ALL THESE WONDERS: True Stories about Facing the Unknown, the second book from The Moth-a nonprofit organization dedicated to the art and craft of storytelling.

The evening of storytelling will be hosted by The New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik and will feature five people personally recounting their true stories of facing the unknown. The storytellers include life coach, real estate specialist, Broadway actress, and singer Ana Del Castillo, and musician, actor, and philanthropist Andy Fischer-Price. Violin/vox/freestyle composition artist Mazz Swift will also perform. In keeping with The Moth's tradition, the rules are simple: All stories are true and told without notes. The results are sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always entertaining.

THE MOTH PRESENTS ALL THESE WONDERS offers a spellbinding celebration of 20 years of Moth storytellers who have stepped up to the microphone and bared their souls to a crowd of strangers. The book presents 45 stories-all carefully selected by the creative minds at The Moth and adapted to the page to preserve the raw energy of live storytelling. Alongside Louis C.K., Tig Notaro, John Turturro, and Meg Wolitzer, readers will encounter: an astronomer gazing at the surface of Pluto for the first time; an Afghan refugee learning how much her father sacrificed to save their family; a hip-hop star coming to terms with being a "one-hit wonder"; a young female spy risking everything as part of Churchill's "secret army" during World War II; and more.

"We're honored to return to Lincoln Center to launch our latest book, ALL THESE WONDERS, from the stage of Alice Tully Hall," says Catherine Burns, Artistic Director of The Moth. "Last June's program at Lincoln Center, which was in partnership with World Science Festival, was one for the ages. The architecture and acoustics of the hall make it an exceptional place to hear stories and celebrate the release of our new story collection."

"We are privileged to present a wide range of performing arts at Lincoln Center, including spoken word, and we are excited to present The Moth again," says Peter Duffin, Senior Vice President, Brand and Marketing at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. "We're thrilled to be part of the launch of ALL THESE WONDERS and are looking forward to what is sure to be a scintillating evening in Alice Tully Hall."

Remaining tickets go on sale to the general public on February 20 at 10:00 am. Tickets may be purchased at LincolnCenter.org/TheMoth.
