Community Showcase: How the Light Gets In

Join us for The Moth’s 2026 Community Engagement Showcase: How The Light Gets In, featuring five unforgettable stories selected from the hundreds shared through the program each year.

A man struggles to reclaim his sense of self in the face of wrongful incarceration. A young girl fervently seeks validation in the pages of library books. A Hasidic rabbi embarks on a journey to learn who he truly is. Through remarkable circumstances and revelations, these stories and others will speak to anyone who has ever gone searching for a little more light.

If you’re looking for a bit of hope and connection, or just an uplifting way to spend a Friday night, join us on August 7th, at Roulette Brooklyn.

The Moth Community Program partners with community organizations, cultural institutions and non-profits to host workshops that inspire confidence and self-reflection and deepen connections within and between communities.
