- **Event Name**: Ira Glass: Stories For a Saturday Night
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 05 Dec, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Tampa Theatre and WUSF welcome Ira Glass, creator and host of the hugely popular radio show “This American Life,” to the Theatre’s historic stage on Saturday, Dec. 5 to share Stories for a Saturday Night.

Glass’s “This American Life” is heard each week by more than three million listeners on public radio and has won the highest honors in broadcasting, including the first Pulitzer Prize ever given to a radio show or podcast. Beyond radio, the show has, for decades, been one of the most popular podcasts in the world, pioneering a “funny stories with feelings” approach that has influenced scores of audio programs in genres from true crime and autobiography to mystery and current events.

His live stage show gives the audience a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how the radio show is put together, where producers find the compelling stories, and how Glass and his staff are constantly pushing broadcasting to innovate.

Glass mixes memorable moments from “This American Life” and his own narration with pre-taped quotes and music to recreate the sound of the radio show live on stage. Audiences can expect a night full of Ira Glass’s creativity, humor, wit and wisdom.

WUSF members will have first access to tickets beginning Monday, Sept. 28. Any remaining tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10:00am Monday, Oct. 5.
