Your Teacher's Reading

Here is the invitation to the event I will be reading at(warning, my essay has a cuss word in it):

Hi there Telling Stories fans!
We’d love to invite you to our final concert this season* this Saturday, April 4. The theme? “A Night on the Red Carpet.” But we’re not doing the same old John Williams tunes – instead you’ll get Ravel’s String Quartet in F, featured in The Royal Tenenbaums, Bernstein’s “What a Movie” featured in Trouble in Tahiti, Gardel's "Por Una Cabeza" from Scent of a Woman, Anne Guzzo’s “Alice in Wonderland” from the book and movie of the same name, and Barber’s Adagio for Strings from Platoon. Also performed are two pieces arranged from the silent movie era, “A Mysterious Event” by JS Zamecnik and “Romance” by Alfred Grunfield.
Each piece will be introduced by a funny review from local film writer Brad Weismann, and Jeff Becker, Jennie Dorris, and Jeanine Fritz will be reading essays.
The show starts at 7 p.m., and Great Divide has provided free libations for the event. The concert takes place at eventgallery 910Arts, at 910 Santa Fe Drive in Denver’s historic art district. We’d love to have you all at our final concert this season!
thanks,
Jennie Dorris
director, Telling Stories
*We are sponsoring a very cool interdisciplinary concert featuring a Harper's essay, a merry band of musicians, a narrator, and a pugilist in late May. More info to come!
