Hosts Michelle Collins (The Michelle Collins Show on SiriusXM) and Sarah Thyre (Dark at the Roots) are joined by actors including Laura Benanti (My Fair Lady), Karen Chee (Late Night with Seth Meyers), Robin Lord Taylor (Gotham, You), and Adina Verson (Indecent) who will perform short stories of curious collectives bound by blood (and maybe little else). Feel inspired about your own strange brood with readings of bizarre and fantastic people who gather around Thanksgiving turkeys or pile into cars for road trips. Featuring musical guests Larry Owens (A Strange Loop) and Natalie Walker (Alice by Heart).
There will not be a book signing at this event.
Selected Shorts is produced by Symphony Space and broadcast on more than 150 stations around the country. The series began in 1985 and enjoys sold-out performances to this day. Selected Shorts was conceived with a simple premise: take great stories by well-known and emerging writers and have them performed by terrific actors of stage and screen. Featuring stories around a lively theme, the favorite works of a guest author, or a special collaboration, each Selected Shorts event is a unique night of literature in performance.
Recent readers include Ellen Burstyn, Kate Walsh, Bebe Neuwirth, Claire Danes, Michael Shannon, Kyle Maclachlan, LeVar Burton, Jane Curtin, Danielle Brooks, Cynthia Nixon, Rainn Wilson, Holly Hunter, Hugh Dancy, Joan Allen, Josh Radnor, Tony Shalhoub, Maggie Gyllenhaal, BD Wong and more.
