About the reading

Five short readings, one long evening.

Each reader has fifteen minutes. After the readings the mezzanine stays open until ten, with drinks and a long table for conversation.

Open to all full-pass holders. Day-pass holders are welcome to upgrade at the door, space permitting.

Reading the room.

Each reader will share a short piece — published, in-progress, or freshly written for the evening.
