WordTheatre gave voice to great writing at the exclusive Soho House West Hollywood. A selection of well known actors and authors joined us for readings of lauded contemporary stories followed by a Q & A with the artists. 

• Adrian Pasdar (The Lying Game, Heroes) reads Hal Ackerman - Ackerman is the author of two novels, most recently Stein, Stung; and the co-area head of UCLA’s screenwriting program. His stories have been widely published in literary journals and he is a Warren Adler Award winner, author of one of Southeast Review’s World’s Best Short Shorts, and a Pushcart Prize nominee.
• Ian Hart (Luck, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone) reads Evgenia Citkowitz - “How coolly poised, Evgenia Citkowitz’s prose! And how elegantly and richly detailed her fictional worlds!...Sharply observed, resolutely unsentimental, and wholly engaging." - Joyce Carol Oates, The new York Review of Books
• Julian Sands (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, 24) reads Ben Okri (not appearing) - Winner of the Booker Prize winn for his novel The Famished Road, Okri is a Nigerian born author and poet. “Okri's magical realism is distinctive; his prose is charged with passion and energy, electrifying in its imagery ... a powerful, compassionate vision of modern Africa and the magical heritage of its myths.” - Publisher’s Weekly
