‘Aloud’ literary conversations series at L.A. Central Library stimulates the senses with new ideas
Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance Distinguished Professor Peter Sellars
Distinguished Professor Peter Sellars will be in conversation with Ayanna Thompson, Professor of English, George Washington University at the Downtown Library for the Aloud program titled "Shakespeare Now: Race, Justice and the American Dream."
"Fans of literature and those who want to explore timely topics in depth will want to mark their calendars for the “Aloud” series at the Los Angeles Central Library beginning Thursday.
“We present visionary writers, thinkers, doers in all disciplines,” said Louise Steinman, the “Aloud” founder and curator. “It’s really a place to come together to hear ideas, to be able to ask questions, in a common space, the library, which welcomes everybody. You might be sitting next to a lawyer on one side and perhaps someone who’s homeless on the left. It’s a great way to involve yourself in a civic discourse about ideas and the world.”
Steinman founded the series in 1993 when the library reopened after its renovation."— Michelle Mills, January 12, 2017
