SEVEN life stories written and shared
by the people that experienced them.
Readings of journey, challenge, and hope, from Los Angeles to halfway around the world - an elegant life story of a first generation Japanese American in California, a determined quest for wages denied, an old man exiled from his native Chile, a migrant farm worker father as remembered by his daughter, crossing the DMV line in North Carolina, a "military brat" growing up a mile away from the Berlin Wall, and a Palestinian-Jordanian American experiencing unexpected questions in the West Bank.
Free admission, RESERVATIONS REQUIRED - to RSVP, please call (213) 972-2610 no later than May 13. Capacity is limited. Doors open at 10am, light refreshments available. Program begins promptly at 10:30am.
