Selected Shorts: Miranda July Presents It Chooses You

(Past) Wed, Nov 16 at 7 pm Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space $27; Member $23; 30 & Under $15 literature Selected Shorts

The one-of-a-kind writer, filmmaker and performance artist hosts a multimedia evening spun off of her new book inspired by people she met through the PennySaver classifieds... The book is a mix of real conversations - which unfold in funny, moving and surprising ways -- interspersed with Miranda's reflections on the people she met and her own life. Tonight July is joined by a group of actors including Olga Merediz (In the Heights), Adrian Martinez (Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close), Rebecca Naomi Jones (Passing Strange), Tom Bloom, and Mia Dillon to perform selections from the book. The evening will begin with a reading by Betty Gilpin (The Language Archive) of "Orion's Belt" by Hannah Pittard, from the Selected Shorts Commissioning Project.
