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 Hampton Fluker (Chicago Med), Troy Iwata (The Daily Show), and Maulik Pancholy (30 Rock), and more!
There will not be a book signing at this event.
Please note that Ato Blankson-Wood will no longer be appearing at this event.
