The Adirondack Center for Writing will host an evening of literary theater with the actors from the radio program Selected Shorts. The dramatists will present “Adirondack All Write!,” writing from North Country adult literacy students, Thursday, June 6, at 7 p.m. at the Strand Theater in Plattsburgh.
These real-life stories reflect the lives of men and women in literacy programs through Literacy Volunteer programs in Essex, Franklin, and Clinton counties and through the Adirondack Correctional Facility.
Port Henry-area students will be part of the program.
“Our adult learners have been working on their writing pieces throughout the winter season, and the event on June 6 will be an amazing opportunity that gives our adult learners a voice,” Maria Burke, Literacy Volunteers of Essex and Franklin Counties executive director.
“We are really looking forward to hearing their work read aloud by professional Broadway actors,” she said. “In additional to local adult learners, we will also hear from students enrolled in our prison literacy program at Adirondack Correctional facility in Ray Brook.”
