The next event at Brooklyn Reading Works, a monthly literary series at the Old Stone House in Park Slope, is on October 21 at 8PM: New Plays by Brooklyn Playwrights. This event, curated by playwright Rosemary Moore, will present unstaged readings of two plays by actors.

I’m also really excited about a reading I’m curating, which falls on Veteran’s Day, November 11 at 8PM, featuring writing by veterans of Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Writing War, Voices of Vets,  includes authors Juri Jurjevics, Kevin McPartland, Roy Scranton, Matt Gallagher, Philip Klay and Jacob Siegal.
