About the Show

Ira Glass, producer and host of This American Life brings his storytelling prowess to The Theatre at Ace Hotel for one night only on Saturday, November 7, with Three Acts, Two Dancers, One Radio Host: Ira Glass, Monica Bill Barnes, Anna Bass.

Ira joined forces with Monica Bill Barnes & Company, to combine two art forms that – as Ira puts it – “have no business being together – dance and radio.” The result is a funny, lively and heartfelt evening of dance and stories that has brought down the house wherever it’s been performed.

"People who like This American Life will probably like this,” says Glass “because it’s just like the radio show, um, if you picture dancing during all the stories."

    - Time Magazine

  • Mr. Glass is a journalist but also a storyteller who filters his interviews and impressions through a distinctive literary imagination, an eccentric intelligence, and a sympathetic heart."

    - The New York Times

  • This was one of the funniest evenings of dance I’ve ever seen, and one of the most affecting."

    - The Washington Post

  • Out of this unexpected union of dance and radio comes a show that, like the work of its collaborators, blends moments of delight and hilarity with glimpses of the soft underbelly of human experience. It’s magic."
