Writerly Events in May?

Hello all, I wanted to send something on here, since it’s mainly been posts by Anne, who wants others to post – so here I am, posting! Figured I’d post with something to offer. I happen to be featuring, presenting, or attending some events this month and wondered if folks of the Creative Writing Community of CUNY would be interested in attending.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Come to WOW Cafe Theater 
May 1st : WOW! Wow Cabaret
I’ll be reading a piece of fiction accompanied by slideshow
There will also be burlesque acts, girls on guitars, and some theater.
It’s a queer event. More info on that here:

May 2nd: Birthing Warriors Rivers of Honey Cabaret
I co-produce this monthly cabaret with my wife and she is awesome.
This month we have an amazing line-up.
Here’s the info on our website and the facebook page.

May 3rd: SkillShare at the Brooklyn Public Library
I
‘ll be doing an Oral History workshop with Elizabeth Zeeuw & Erik Bobilin, but there will also be a creative writing & self-publishing workshop in the morning by Nicola McDonald.

May 17th: Louis Armstrong Archives Residency Reading
at the Historic Armstrong House in Corona, Queens. I will be reading the work created from the Archives!

May 22nd: In The Life: Outing Lorraine
At the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, I’ll be moderating a panel on the choice for scholars and activists to utilize the lesbian life  of Lorraine Hansberry or other public figures – Is this an imposition?

I’m sure there are loads of things happening in May…
What are you all up to?

  1. Thanks Erika,
    Tyler is creating links and updating the website soon. It’s primarily here: http://armstrongresidency.wordpress.com/
    Once it is updated, I’ll add to the CUNY site and this page. Thanks for the tip on this events page!

  2. Shawn, is there a link to the Louis Armstrong House event? Since that’s a CUNY location, we can and should post it on the Creative Writing at CUNY Writing Events page.

    You might also submit the information here: http://events.cuny.edu/Submit_Event.asp

    Many thanks for the post.
