Selected Shorts: Virtue & Vice at Getty Center

From gilded saints to charming rogues, the struggle between virtue and vice has always made for a good story. The popular podcast Selected Shorts returns with an evening of short fiction inspired by the Getty Museum’s exhibition of early modern drawings—works that once sought to teach moral lessons (and occasionally to tantalize).

Join us for two captivating performances as actors of stage and screen bring literature to life through readings of humorous and poignant tales of saints, sinners, and everyone in between. Delve into moral quandaries, tempting missteps, and just enough wickedness to keep things delightfully unpredictable.

Hosted by Selected Shorts radio show host Meg Wolitzer (The Interestings, The Wife).
