Ira Glass: Stories for a Saturday Night

Genre: Storytelling

Ira Glass, one of America’s most influential storytellers, returns to Ann Arbor for his fifth A2SF appearance for an evening filled with insight, creativity, and unforgettable moments. As the creator and host of This American Life, the award-winning public radio program, Glass has shaped how a generation thinks about narrative and the power of everyday stories.

Glass brings a night of storytelling in the style he pioneered on his hit radio show: funny stories with feelings. He invented a way to tell radio stories that reshaped audio storytelling and has been widely imitated. His program is heard each week by over three million listeners and has won the highest honors in broadcasting, including three Emmys (for a TV adaptation), eight Peabody Awards and the first Pulitzer Prize ever given to a radio show or podcast.

This performance is co-presented with Michigan Public.

A limited number of tickets to a pre-show VIP Meet & Greet reception with Mr. Glass are available to ticketbuyers. The reception will take place in the Power Center lobby before the performance and will include refreshments. Additional details will follow.
