Description

Celebrate the power of literature with Judy Blume as she takes the stage for an evening of funny and gripping tales that push boundaries. Join us as incredible actors bring to life compelling and thought-provoking stories on frequently censored topics, and by authors whose books have been the target of bans. This evening features stories by Roxane Gay, Shirley Jackson, Xu Mason, Walter Dean Myers, and David Sedaris, with performances by actors Jelani Alladin (Fellow Travelers), Jessica Hecht (Special), Troy Iwata (The Daily Show), Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock), and Amy Ryan (Only Murders in the Building)!

There will not be a book signing at this event.

Please note that Ato Blankson-Wood and Hampton Fluker will no longer be appearing at this event.
