Who do you know who does THIS?!
It’s a fundraiser to "support" YWCA of the Greater Capital Region that will provide new bras and binders to those in need.
It’s about bras. Aside from ads showcasing “the best bras ever,” when do you ever hear any real, honest-to-God conversation about bras. What it’s like, for instance, not to have one because you couldn’t afford it, or what it’s like being unable to find one your size, or only having one and it’s falling apart.
The celebrated author and teacher of all things ‘memoir,’ Marion Roach Smith, conceived of this fabulous event eight years ago. It features talented local writers who will read jury-selected poems and essays or perform songs and monologues on the subject of the brassieres in their lives. The pieces will touch on the subject of bras from many viewpoints and range from the poignant to the hilarious.
I’ll be reading one of my pieces live!
WHEN: NEXT Thursday, Nov 9, 6:00-8:30pm Eastern
WHERE: Arts Center of the Capital Region, 265 River Street Troy, NY 12180
