Arts & Culture

Town Hall’s beloved literary series, curated by Jane Kaplan, returns for another afternoon of readings brought to life by local actors.

Authors John Cheever, Lydia Davis, Percival Everett, and Alice Walker explore where we come from, where we stand, and where we may be headed. Join stellar performers Felicia Loud, Nate Tenenbaum, and R. Hamilton Wright as they read stories that reveal the complex and evolving search for place.
