No I haven’t forgotten about Brooklyn Reading Works at the Old Stone House. It’s one Thursday a month at 8 p.m., the actual dates are below. We ask for a $5 donation and provide you with wine, sometimes cocktails and light snacks.

I’ve got a great schedule lined up. This year I selected a bunch of great writers to curate the evenings and it’s going to be a whole lot of fun as always. Be on the look out for the new poster designed by Elizabeth Reagh at Good Form Design. Here’s the schedule:

October 16: Poetry Punch curated by Michele Madigan Somerville with poets Bill Evans, Jeff Wright, Joanna Sitt, Ilene Starger, Will Nixon, Michele Madigan Somerville and Louise Crawford. Michele says: “Juicy, libidinous, good performers, not dry.”

November 20: Baby Love, a reading of a new play by Michael Winks with Michael Buscemi

December 11: Food for Thought: Writers on Food (and a fundraiser for a local soup kitchen TBD).

January 22: New Works by Brooklyn Playwrights curated by Rosemary Moore

February 12: Cupid’s Arrow: A Valentine’s Day Reading curated by Marian Fontana
