OCTOBER 14 IN UUCA'S UNDERGROUND THEATRE: A NIGHT OF VONNEGUT
The Underground Theatre at UUCA will present A Night of Vonnegut, a staged reading of the works of Kurt Vonnegut, featuring short stories from his posthumously published "Armageddon In Retrospect." One of the most acclaimed American writers of the 20th Century, Vonnegut was a prisoner of war during WWII and witnessed first hand the aftermath of the Allied bombing of Dresden.
In this collection of short stories, he writes of the absurdity and horror of war with a sense of moral outrage and dark humor. The readings, directed by UUCA member Liz Bigler, will be performed by a small collection of local actors.
Doors open at 7:00 pm; performance 7:30-10pm. Suggested admission donation is $10, but no one will be turned away. Donations go to support UUCA. There will be a raffle of merchandise from the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library during intermission, and proceeds will benefit the ACLU, of which
Vonnegut was a passionate supporter. Refreshments will be available. Please
Note: Stories may contain adult content and language.
The Underground Theatre is in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta church at 911 Cliff Valley Way, NE, Atlanta 30329. Alternate address for the parking lot: 1597 Interstate-85 Frontage Road, Atlanta 30329.
