Selected Shorts: Toni Morrison Remembered WAIT LIST ONLY

Toni Morrison was a peerless writer. Her fierce, poetic visions articulated deep truths about the nature of racial injustice in America, and in particular, African American women’s place in this struggle. Authors and actors, including Fran Lebowitz, S. Epatha Merkerson, and Phylicia Rashad, come together to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of this Nobel Prize winner with an evening of remembrances and performances from her novels, essays, and short stories. Hosted by Tayari Jones.

Selected Shorts is produced by Symphony Space and broadcast on more than 150 stations around the country. The series began in 1985 and enjoys sold-out performances to this day. Selected Shorts was conceived with a simple premise: take great stories by well-known and emerging writers and have them performed by terrific actors of stage and screen. Featuring stories around a lively theme, the favorite works of a guest author, or a special collaboration, each Selected Shorts event is a unique night of literature in performance.
