Write Out Loud to Conclude 10th Anniversary Season with Reading of THE OPEN ROAD

Write Out Loud - an organization founded in 2007 with a commitment to inspire, challenge and entertain by reading short stories aloud for a live audience - announces THE OPEN ROAD, the final production in their 10th Anniversary Season, on Monday, June 5th at 7 p.m. at Old Town Theatre (4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego).

Write Out Loud Artistic Director, Veronica Murphy said "there are so many lesser known and intriguing stories and poems about life on the road and the examination of travel and where it leads us. We excited to share some of these gems with the community at the final performance of our 10th Anniversary Season."
