Symphony Space has announced several casting updates for award winning Selected Shorts Performances. Scheduled guests are as follows:

Wednesday, January 26th at 7pm Haiti Noir, with Edwidge Danticat
Anika Noni Rose (star of the film Dreamgirls and Tony winner for Caroline, or Change) will perform new stories by Edwidge Danticat and Mark Kurlansky from the powerful new anthology collected by the award-winning Haitian-American author of The Dew Breaker and Brother, I'm Dying.

Wednesday, February 16th at 7pm  Russian Tales, Classic and New with Anya Ulinich and Keith Gessen
Denis O'Hare (True Blood and Take Me Out) and Nina Arianda (Venus in Fur) others perform luminous classic tales and exciting new stories from the latest emerging Russian writers

Wednesday, March 16th at 7pm  40th Anniversary Celebration of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
An all-star cast including Academy Award-winning actor BENICIO DEL TORO (Traffic) who played Dr. Gonzo in the classic film and Scott Shepherd (Elevator Repair Service's Gatz at The Public) read selections from the comic gonzo classic.

Spellbinding short stories by established and emerging writers take on a new life when they are performed by stars of the stage and screen. Whether we present stories around a lively theme, the favorite works of a guest author or a special collaboration with a museum or publication, each Selected Shorts event is a unique night of literature in performance. Hosted by Isaiah Sheffer.

Symphony Space fosters artistically and culturally diverse performing arts, literary, and film programs that bring artists and audiences together in an atmosphere of exploration and intimacy. Symphony Space's two-fold operating philosophy is to create and present its own artistic offering and, at the same time, to support artists' own endeavors and enrich our calendar by providing a subsidized rental facility.
