The Moth Mainstage: Shadow and Light
Friday, September 18 at 7:30 p.m.
BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center | 199 Chambers St New York, NY 10007
Twenty-five years after September 11, The Moth gathers some of its most compelling storytellers for an unforgettable evening of true stories about loss, resilience, healing, and humanity.
Presented in partnership with The National September 11 Memorial & Museum with support from WNYC, The Moth Mainstage: Shadow and Light explores the moments that test us, transform us, and ultimately bring us back to one another. Expect an evening of curated stories that are moving, surprising, funny, heartbreaking, and hopeful—all told live and without notes.
Whether you lived through that day, grew up in its shadow, or are still grappling with its legacy, this special Moth Mainstage event offers something increasingly rare: a chance to gather, listen, and connect through the power of story.
25 Years Later: Reflections of a Generation
Thursday, October 1 at 6 p.m.
September 11 attacks reshaped New York City and the nation. As Macaulay marks its 25th year alongside this milestone anniversary of 9/11, inaugural alumni Deanna Bitetti, Senior Communications Officer at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees; Jesús A. Hernández-García, Esq., Federal Public Defender; and Amanda Perez, journalist and educator, return to reflect on beginning their college careers at a moment that would come to define a generation of New Yorkers. The program will open with welcome remarks from Ryan Merola, Chief of Staff to New York City Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch and an alumnus from Macaulay's third cohort. In conversation with 9/11 Memorial & Museum Director Clifford Chanin, they will discuss how coming of age in New York during a time of profound loss and resilience has remained part of their personal and professional journeys and influenced how they understand service, community, and their roles in the world today.
