Ira Glass: Stories for a Saturday Night

Ira Glass, creator and host of the acclaimed This American Life, brings his distinctive storytelling to the stage for two performances filled with humor, unexpected discoveries and moving stories about everyday life.

Heard by more than five million listeners each week, This American Life has earned nine Peabody Awards and the first-ever Pulitzer Prize awarded for audio journalism, reshaping how stories are told on radio and in podcasts.

In Stories for a Saturday Night, Glass shares memorable stories and takes audiences behind the scenes of his celebrated program, combining recorded interviews, music and live narration to bring the sound and spirit of This American Life to the stage.

“This American Life began as an experiment in form and tone; the idea was to produce a distinct narrative style of radio storytelling. It’s a testament to This American Life’s impact and ubiquity that its chatty style of narration now looms over audio producers everywhere.” –New York Magazine
