On Saturday, October 21, at 7:00 p.m., Kaatsbaan and the National Willa Cather Center host a sesquicentennial celebration of Willa Cather, who was born in 1873 and became one of the most singular and treasured American writers of the 20th century. Cather's groundbreaking fiction (O Pioneers!, My Antonia, One of Ours, Death Comes from the Archbishop) set a new standard in American literature.
The evening of brief selections from her fiction and letters brings to life the uniquely American prose of this Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The evening will feature readings by actors Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson, as well as musical performances by Hailey McAvoy (mezzo-soprano), Jonathan Lawlor (baritone) and Nomin Samdan (piano). Selections for the readings were curated by Peter Cipkowski, a member of the Willa Cather Foundation Board of Governors.
The event takes place in Black Box Theater at Kaatsbaan, 120 Broadway, in Tivoli. Click here to purchase tickets.
