My Bookish Friends 
A Literary Afternoon
Sunday, March 29 at 2 PM

Featuring book readings and conversation with Karen Malpede, LAST RADIANCE & Brad Krumholz, WHY DO ACTORS TRAIN? Moderated by Mimi McGurl.

Meet two authors who will read from their books that weave theatre, politics, embodiment of art, body, intellect, and spirit. An afternoon of readings, conversation, and food.

New York playwright, Karen Malpede says “Last Radiance is my love letter to the cultural avant-garde and pacifist left. This is my love letter to George Bartenieff, Julian Beck and so many more. This is my love letter to all of us who have sought a better world and live to make that happen.” 

Theatre practitioner Brad Krumholz engages with contemporary ideas of theatre, neuroscience, psychology, linguistics, and philosophy. Why Do Actors Train? offers a new lens to re-examine the craft of acting, a framework to understand the art form as one that is fundamentally grounded in embodied experience.
