Write Out Loud: Animals I Have Known
4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego, 92110
Short stories are minidramas, made so by language alone. So, asked the founders of Write Out Loud, why not assemble a troupe and read them in public? That idea had grown into a popular event. These aren't staged readings, with little advance preparation. Local actors rehearse a story as they would a script, emphasizing style and meaning. At the same time, however, all is subordinate to the word. As in the old days of radio, regular attendees often close their eyes and listen. Each reading clusters around a theme. Animals I Have Known presents stories about "beloved creatures great and small." 619-297-8953.
Worth a try.
