Write Out Loud: Giving Season: An Irish Christmas
4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego, 92110
Cost: $5 - $20
The idea began at a bridal shower: short stories are mini-dramas, made so by language alone. Why not assemble a troupe and read them in public? Write Out Loud grew from that idea and has become a popular event. These aren't staged readings, with little advance preparation. Local actors rehearse a story as they would a script. They emphasize 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. Giving Season is the group's annual holiday program, this time with an Irish flavor and music by Celtic Echoes. Worth a try.
