“Under the Influence” Reading Performance Series | North Beach
The Emerald Tablet in North Beach hosts a homegrown reading performance series, Under the Influence, co-created and hosted with Quiet Lightning‘s Evan Karp.
Four artists read works by some of their major influences, followed by original work performances created for the show that channels that influence. Artists have 15 minutes each to perform and will help select the following month’s performers, so that each show is inspired by the one before.
Approximately once a month an influence will be announced, and they will accept submissions of original work in response.
There will be complimentary food. Drinks are by donation.
