[flier for the event]

Writer/Performers needed for Upper West Side literary performance night...

email your submission NOW to James Dell'Orco --- jmd2133@columbia.edu OR

Bryan Adrian -- bryan_adrian@yahoo.com

Upper West Side READ OUT! ----- Event

We are seeking male and female creative writers to read their own work at our READ OUT on the Upper West Side, something like a figure skating performance for each presenter -- but this will be a Figure Reading. We do not want to mirror the form of poetry slams that have been around since MTV popularized poetry performances. We want to create a stimulating presentation going back before MTV made readings what they are today, and start all over again.

Bryan Adrian and James Dell'Orco are putting together a poetry-short story passage -- play-scene reading/audition, on the Upper West Side at DORIANS. We are seeking poets and short story writers and playwrights [a page or nearly two] of your story, or three or four minutes from a One Act Play in progress, writers who have good enough writing for the text to stand by itself alone, but a bit of performance ability would also be appreciated.

We are not seeking grandstanding egos nor hobby writers who have a sizzling poetry slam style down pat, either. [Nobody to read over five minutes is our goal]. Public radio's Karen Pelland will be the MC of this event.

Most importantly, send us your efforts right this minute in the TEXT of an EMAIL to Bryan or to Jim [see email addresses below]. Also, if you have a website, please also provide us with your URL so we can learn more about you.

An interview on the Upper West Side or Times Square will follow, if deemed applicable, or describe yourself to us in your first email so we can just dispense with an interview. The deadline is getting close!

[writings and dossier on one of the two organizers of this event]

We have rented the 2nd [rarely used] spacious floor of a large bar/restaurant [DORIANS] and plan on breaking up the monotony of too many poets/writers reading consequetively with a stand-up comic poetess and a few acoustic guitar players and a few actresses reading compelling theatre-play dialogue for a few minutes.

Buy your own drinks and bask in the applause. The date of the event will be Feb. 13th, Valentine's Day Eve, and the time, 9PM or so.

BRING ALL YOUR FRIENDS!
