Caleb's Crossing
Sunday, January 22
Living Literature is pleased to be participating in another Reading
Across Rhode Island (RARI) book presentation, a program of the Rhode
Island Center for the Book.
This year's book selection celebrates RARI's 10th year anniversary of selecting books, choosing
Caleb’s
Crossing
by
Pulitzer Prize winning author Geraldine Brooks.
Living Literature will present a series
of two person presentations during the RARI series of events running
January through April.
Living Literature will present
a brief version of Caleb's Crossing in a three person readers theatre
style event,
Sunday, January 22, as part of the 2012 Kick-Off event. It will be held at Newman
Congregational Church, 100 Newman Avenue, Rumford, RI.
Author Geraldine
Brooks will be in attendance. If you are interested in attending,
please refer to the RI Center for the Book website at
www.rihumanities.org/ribook/default.html.
In
1665, a young man from Martha’s Vineyard became the first Native
American to graduate from Harvard College. Upon this slender factual
scaffold, Brooks has created a luminous tale of love and faith, magic
and adventure.
The creation of this program and a
limited number of these presentations have been funded this year by a
legislative grant from the State of Rhode Island and Providence
Plantations. This program is available to you throughout Feb.-April,
2012 for $200. Please book soon, as we anticipate a good many
requests. Contact Barry Press here or call 401-437-2297.
