After a successful, sold-out run this past August, Max Stossel will return to New York City with two more performance dates of Max Stossel Live: Words that Move. It will play the historic Cherry Lane Theatre (38 Commerce Street, NYC) Monday, December 12, 2018 and the SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street, NYC) on Monday, January 28, 2019, then Max Stossel Live: Words that Move, will move to San Francisco on Monday, February 4, 2019 at the SF Playhouse (450 Post Street, San Fran).

This hour-long journey takes the audience through topics like heartbreak, consciousness, social media, gender equality, infinity, the political, emotional and spiritual state of our world, pornography and even how dogs probably (most certainly) talk. Impeccably crafted, Stossel says all the things we wish we all had the words to say.

Audiences have commented "Somehow Max manages to make the whole room feel like he's talking explicitly to each and every person individually, and his casual demeanor and witty humor make him the most lovable up and coming poet of our time." - Brooke Johnson, Google; "Max is a modern-day George Carlin, a philosopher with a comedic bent." Erika C., Etsy; "Max's poetry is raw, earnest, hilarious, and engrossing. Above all, he's trying to find truth, and he brings you with him" Erik Torenberg, Village Global; "Far from preachy or pedantic, Max disarms his audience by wrapping these truth-morsels in playful packaging. It's a pleasure to watch someone reveal their rawness with such apparent ease-- a paradox, to be sure. But that's the essence of Max's show-- a delicious contradiction that cajoles us to dance through life while leaving us transfixed in our seats. Words That Move indeed." - Ilana Gilovich, Sleep No More

Stossel is an award-winning poet + filmmaker named by Forbes as one of the best storytellers of the year. His performances across four continents, from Lincoln Center in NY to the Hordern Pavilion in Sydney, have been described as mind expanding, profound, emotive, and hilarious all at once. His work has been translated to fourteen languages, won multiple film festivals, has been viewed over 15 million times online, and has influenced the way digital media organizations tell their stories. You can view some of his short films at www.wordsthatmove.com.

"I'm thrilled that the last show was so well received that I have been invited back to both the Cherry Lane Theatre and the SoHo Playhouse. Both historical venues have such a history of presenting amazing stories that are deeply moving. Honored to take the stage, and share Words That Move with you all!" - Max Stossel
