Oct 16: Tony Roberts & Selected Shorts at Kingsborough

Hey, all you fans of old Woody Allen movies, Tony Roberts, who was in Annie Hall, Play it Again Sam, Stardust Memories and other Allen masterpieces, will be reading short stories as part of a special Selected Shorts program designed for the Kingsborough Performing Arts Center (KPAC).

I listen to Selected Shorts on WNYC radio on Sunday afternoons but it should be fun to see it live.

On Saturday, October 16, at 8:00 p.m. at KPAC, the founder of Symphony Space, Isaiah Sheffer, will take the stage with a program created especially for KPAC.

According to the press release: “Selected Shorts: Funny Food Fictions will serve up a menu of hilarious short stories about food and love. Stories by award-winning authors T. Corraghessan Boyle, M.F.K. Fisher, and “Yinglish” comic book master Milt Gross will be read by Broadway, film, and television star (and frequent Woody Allen co-star) Tony Roberts, the Tony-nominated stage actress Maria Tucci, and Isaiah Sheffer.”

Anna Becker, KPAC’s brand new Executive Director had this to say about the show: “We are so delighted to have Symphony Space in residence with us this season for three unique programs, starting with the brilliantly entertaining Selected Shorts program…There has been great excitement and anticipation on the part of our audience members as we await a wonderful evening of masterful stories, artfully told.”
