Celebrity Readings

Inspired by Isaiah Sheffer’s Selected Shorts at Symphony Space, Celebrity Readings is an evening of storytelling; great short stories are ‘performed’ by celebrated actors. This year’s event features three wonderful readers: JOHN AMOS, a veteran of classic TV shows from the popular Good Times to the critically praised Roots. Onstage he is known for his performances in plays by August Wilson, Athol Fugard, and Shakespeare. ZACH GRENIER plays the ethically challenged David Lee on The Good Wife. Tony-nominated for 33 Variations opposite Jane Fonda, Grenier has created roles in many of New York’s most provocative new plays. EMILY ZACHARIAS directs Celebrity Readings. Working as an actor in NY and in regional theater, Zacharias also develops new plays with The Workshop Theater in NYC.
