The Center for Fiction, a 200-year-old literary nonprofit that has created an immersive home for readers and writers in downtown Brooklyn, and Theatre Communications Group (TCG), the national organization for theatre, will co-present Story/Teller Arts: Will Arbery and Chloé Cooper Jones with Leslie Jamison on April 12 at 7pm ET at The Center for Fiction, 15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217, and via livestream. The evening will celebrate the publication of Arbery’s play Heroes of the Fourth Turning and the paperback release of Jones’s Easy Beauty. Novelist and essayist Leslie Jamison (Make It Scream, Make It Burn) will moderate the discussion.
“We’re thrilled to return to The Center for Fiction with this event after the inspiring conversation between Taylor Mac and Laura Collins-Hughes,” said Teresa Eyring, executive director, TCG. “We’re especially excited to hear a leading playwright like Will Arbery in conversation with writers outside of the theatre sector like Chloé Cooper Jones and Leslie Jamison. These kinds of conversations across art form are exactly why The Center for Fiction is such an ideal partner to advance TCG’s conviction that plays are literature.”
The event will take place at The Center for Fiction, 15 Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217 on Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at 7pm ET. In-person tickets are $5, or $10 for a ticket/voucher which includes a $10 voucher to the bookstore redeemable toward Heroes of the Fourth Turning and Easy Beauty on the night of the event. All registrants will receive a link to livestream the event. Learn more and acquire your tickets here. For press tickets, please contact Corinna Schulenburg at cschulenburg@tcg.org
