Spend an evening listening to brilliant short fiction read aloud by actors from the New Haven Theater Company. After the reading the stories are broken down, discussed, illuminated, if you will, by Bennett Lovett-Graff.
Friday Happy Hour Jazz at the Institute Library will continue a swinging tour of that great American art form, “LP Jazz”, meeting at 5:15 or so every Friday, in the third floor music room, to consider, contemplate and appreciate the wonders in the Collection.
Spinning Poetry is a program where we’re invited to hear poets as they read their own works, many of which are old familiar pieces, but many of which have fallen out of fashion or just gotten swallowed by time. By playing Caedmon Records’ recordings of these readings, we can gain a new appreciation for works we’ve gotten accustomed to just seeing, if we see them at all, on a printed page. Now: the voices come alive! Held monthly, with Philip Beard as your literary tour guide.
