SUMMARY:I’m Almost There
DESCRIPTION:Love at first sight is easy… letting it through the front door is a freaking Odyssey. \nAll he wants to do is let the perfect man in. But can he overcome his unhinged neighbor\, a seductive cult\, a self-obsessed vampire\, and a cat intent on dragging him to hell? \nWritten and performed by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country\, Gossip Girl) and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night\, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit)\, I’m Almost There is a rueful\, hilarious\, and poignant modern love story in song about a man crossing a sea of doubts to find happiness… and good coffee. Initially developed by the award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer\, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit comes to BAM for a three-week run ahead of a major US tour. \nJoined onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Noah Max Amick (bass)\, Almond weaves his deeply personal\, universally relatable songs into a luminous\, lyrical confession about fear\, longing\, and the courage it takes to let love in. It’s intimate yet epic and laugh-out-loud funny in all the places it hurts most. \nI’m Almost There was commissioned by Audible and first produced in Edinburgh and New York City by Audible\, Francesca Moody Productions\, and DryWrite.

SUMMARY:I’m Almost There
DESCRIPTION:Love at first sight is easy… letting it through the front door is a freaking Odyssey. \nAll he wants to do is let the perfect man in. But can he overcome his unhinged neighbor\, a seductive cult\, a self-obsessed vampire\, and a cat intent on dragging him to hell? \nWritten and performed by Todd Almond (Girl from the North Country\, Gossip Girl) and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer (Good Night\, and Good Luck; The Band’s Visit)\, I’m Almost There is a rueful\, hilarious\, and poignant modern love story in song about a man crossing a sea of doubts to find happiness… and good coffee. Initially developed by the award-winning producers of Fleabag and Baby Reindeer\, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit comes to BAM for a three-week run ahead of a major US tour. \nJoined onstage by musicians Erin Hill (harp/vocals) and Noah Max Amick (bass)\, Almond weaves his deeply personal\, universally relatable songs into a luminous\, lyrical confession about fear\, longing\, and the courage it takes to let love in. It’s intimate yet epic and laugh-out-loud funny in all the places it hurts most. \nI’m Almost There was commissioned by Audible and first produced in Edinburgh and New York City by Audible\, Francesca Moody Productions\, and DryWrite.

SUMMARY:Celebrating 80 Years of Penguin Classics
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for Fiction for an evening celebrating the 80th anniversary of Penguin Classics and its long-standing mission to ignite a universal love of reading\, connect writers with global audiences\, and publish high-quality literature. They are pleased to welcome Elda Rotor\, Vice President and Publisher of Penguin Classics\, as the evening’s moderator. In conversation with Rotor\, acclaimed writers Nicole Dennis-Benn\, Roxane Gay\, and Xochitl Gonzalez will reflect on the evolving role of the classics and the exciting ways in which contemporary voices continue to expand\, challenge\, and reinterpret the literary canon. \nAs recent contributors to Penguin Classics editions\, Dennis-Benn\, Gay\, and Gonzalez build upon Penguin Classics’ commitment to new perspectives. In Brown Girl\, Brownstones\, Dennis-Benn’s foreword highlights the novel’s enduring relevance in conversations about migration and identity. In The Portable Feminist Reader\, Gay curates a diverse collection of feminist thought that illuminates the evolution and complexities of the feminist canon. In A Room of One’s Own\, Gonzalez’s introduction essay reexamines Virginia Woolf’s call for creative freedom by breaking down gender\, race\, and class\, extending her message to a broader audience. Together with Rotor\, whose visionary leadership has helped guide Penguin Classics’ celebrated publishing program and launch several innovative series\, the panel will reflect on the lasting legacy of the classics. Space is limited\, so reserve your spot today! \nSupporter Tickets include a complimentary Penguin Classics tote bag in appreciation of your contribution to The Center for Fiction.
