Roz Chast and Patricia Marx: Book Reading, Ukelele Playing, & Q&A
May 2 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Join us for a special night of whimsy, wit, and wonderful conversation at Materials for the Arts with acclaimed author Patricia Marx and renowned cartoonist Roz Chast.
The evening will include a reading from some of Marx and Chast’s work and ukelele playing (not simultaneously!), adding a musical touch to the evening.
Following the readings and musical interlude, attendees are invited to participate in a lively Q&A session with the two iconic New Yorkers. This is your chance to shoot any burning questions you have at Marx and Chast. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
Attendees will have the chance to purchase their very own copy of “TIRED TOWN” ($20.68, tax inclusive) for Marx and Chast to sign after the reading.
This event is free to the public. We kindly ask that you RSVP to the event as you won’t be allowed to enter without a ticket confirmation.
