Renowned for his linguistic vitality and stylistic multifariousness, John Edgar Wideman's genius is off the charts. Meet the author at this WORDTheatre performance celebrating his unique brand of fiction in an evening of stories, music and song at The Players on Gramercy Park, NYC. An all-star cast of esteemed actors––including Carmen Ejogo, Richard Schiff, Chiké Okonkwo, Gary Dourdan, Ron Canada, and Chris Chalk--and musicians will bring selections from his oeuvre to life and enjoy the jazz stylings of Jonathan Mastro! Enjoy Complimentary Cocktails & Appetizers courtesy of Jane & Randy Sinisi's Phiphen Studios | Post NJ at 6:00 pm. Get photographed by Starpix Marion Curtis. The Performances begin at 7:00 pm and are followed by a brief Q & A led by another renowned author (and major John Edgar Wideman fan!), David Means.
