LIT Sunday: Author Readings
This year’s author lineup offers a vibrant spectrum of voices—memoirists, poets, novelists, and screenwriters—who will each read an 8-minute segment from their latest writing! Before they draw you into the world’s they’ve created on the written page each writer will share a quick story about their first concert or most memorable concert experience. It’s a new addition, and we think you’re really gonna dig it. Curated and hosted by Frayn Masters, this year’s program invites audiences to sit back and let their minds be filled with the imagery and characters of some of today’s most exciting literary voices.
