SUMMARY:Applied Words: A Dose of Mind and Body
DESCRIPTION:For this Applied Words event\, we ask our featured artists to give us a dose of health-connected stories of the body and/or mind. Tonight’s line-up includes two “Writers to Watch\,” Rey Andújar and Megan Stielstra\, along with special guests Andrew Huff and Samantha Irby. \nAnd to make the program more body related\, we have partnered with the International Museum of Surgical Science (1524 N Lake Shore Dr) to host the event. Your admission to the reading will include admission to the museum (normally $15)\, and the venue will be open a full hour early so you can explore all the exhibits on hand. Click HERE for directions and parking information. \n“Dose” is pay-what-you-can ($10 suggested donation). Audience contributions support honorariums for featured authors. \nREMEMBER: The reading starts at 7:30 p.m.\, but the museum will be open to Guild Complex guests as early as 6:30 p.m. Hooray! \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nRey Andújar is a Dominican writer and dramaturgist.
