Community-Wide Reading of Pentimento
Saturday, February 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
In the Arlene and Robert Kogod Cradle
In this multi-hour community reading, members of the public are invited to sit together and read selections of Hellman’s 1973 memoir which offers deep insight into the fiercely intelligent woman and dramatic writer and this era of U.S. history. Like the annual New Bedford reading of the text of Moby Dick, this out-loud experience gives attendees a chance to read anywhere from a few sentences to a few pages aloud—or just to listen and engage with Hellman’s life and work in fresh and immersive way.
