Revenge of the Book Eaters826NYC is thrilled to announce "REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS," our annual one-of-a-kind evening of music, comedy, and storytelling is coming to Town Hall. This year´s show will feature:
A story from IRA GLASS.
New songs by DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES (members of Grizzly Bear).
Talking from DAVE EGGERS.
A new play by JONATHAN FRANZEN*, read by PARKER POSEY, PATRICIA CLARKSON, BOBBY CANNAVALE, TUNDE ADEBIMPE (of TV on the Radio), and the author.
A duet with THAO NGUYEN and ZACH ROGUE.
Jokes by host (and Daily Show correspondent) JOHN OLIVER.
And a very special appearance by PAUL SIMON.
Tickets are available via Ticketmaster and the venue box office.
This event, which is named after a story by an 826NYC student, is now a much-heralded annual show, started in 2006. This year`s show promises to extend that tradition, focusing on unique, memorable performances, all raising money for 826NYC´s free programming for children.
*Play is from State By State: A Panoramic Portrait of America, a new book edited by Matt Weiland and Sean Wilsey.
