Reading of novella

GREENFIELD, MA - The LAVA Center announces an ensemble reading of Richard Wayne Horton’s “A Long Moment in the South,” online on-demand until Wednesday, August 31.
The story is adapted from Horton’s flash-fiction novella published by Human Error Publishing in the story collection “Artists in the Underworld.” Four actors bring to life two dozen characters who populate the rural edges of Texarkana in the 1950s. Snippets of song and dreamscapes set the mood and stage for this coming of adulthood story of Bobby, a young boy negotiating the contradictions and both spoken and unspoken tensions of “a railroad hub, a town of connections, borders and layers... layers underground, layers between present and past, poor and rich, country and city, dirty and clean.”
Robert Catlin, Shannon Chabbot, Tracy Grammer, and Jovonna Van Pelt will perform “A Long Moment in the South”; Jan Maher will direct.Horton’s published works include “Sticks and Bones” for Meat for Tea Press and “Artists In The Underworld” and “Ballet for Murderers,” both published by Human Error Publishing. He is a frequent reader at open mics in the area. His work has been published in “Meat for Tea,” “Lonesome October,” “Bull & Cross,” “Literary Heist,” “The Dead Mule,” and others.
The LAVA Center requires masking and proof of vaccination for those attending performances in person. Tickets for the online, on-demand video of the reading are available at https://thelavacenter.eventbrite.com.
