New York and Maine based award-winning writer/artists Judith Sloan and Warren Lehrer return to the Blue Hill Library to present excerpts from three decades of book and performance projects. As co-founders of EarSay, a non-profit dedicated to nurturing and portraying stories of uncelebrated individuals, the couple have been collaborating on multi-media works that embrace stories of immigration, refuge, war and peace, and finding home and sanity in an out of balance world. Join them for a free event of readings, music, visuals, wordcraft, laughter, and pathos.
“In Lehrer’s books… words take on thought’s very form, bringing sensory experience to the reader as directly as ink on paper can allow.” The New York Times Book Review
“Funny and sad, topical and biting… Exquisite comic timing. Sloan can make you see your world in a slightly different way. And that’s what theater is supposed to do.” The Indianapolis Star
“Warren Lehrer’s books are graphically and typographically eye-popping, and his multi-media works have influenced two generations of designers.” Debbie Millman Design Matters
“Crossing the BLVD is a whirlwind tour and love poem of what has often been called the most racially and ethnically diverse county in America.” New York Times
“A welcome voice crying in the contemporary wilderness of political correctness. On-the-money satire seasoned with tolerance and joie de vivre.” Theater Week
