'NOW HEAR THIS' Story & Music Series to Continue 11/20 with Hempel, Shapiro and Addonizio

NOW HEAR THIS: A Story & Music Performance Series presents an evening of dynamic short stories, read by actors, set to original music, and performed live. It will be presented by Atim Udoffia, with music by Clifford Childers at Gold Lion Arts, 2733 Riverside Blvd., Sacramento, 95818 on Saturday, October 10, 2015.

We're back for another round of NOW HEAR THIS, a new monthly performance series that brings together writers, actors and musicians in this entertaining presentation of short story fiction. Here, both audience and performers come to embrace the act of pure listening -- listening to stories, listening to music, listening to original works in a fresh format.

This month features stories by PEN/Malamud Award-winning author Amy Hempel, San Francisco novelist and short story writer Elena Mauli Shapiro, and poet/novelist Kim Addonizio. The stories are brought to life by seasoned actors and talented musicians who turn literature into stimulating performance -- and a full aural experience.

This performance is appropriate for ages teen and above. Music is composed and arranged by Clifford Childers.

NOW HEAR THIS takes place on Friday, November 20th at 8pm at Gold Lion Arts (2733 Riverside Blvd., Land Park). Suggested donation of $10 at the door. Cash only.
