UnFairy Tales Final Performance
Join us for an evening of short fiction by The Asian American Writers’ Workshop’s young adult writers. This past spring, as part of a workshop called UnFairy Tales: The Myths in Myths, students questioned traditional myths and wrote their own. In this final performance, they’ll read their own UnFairy Tales, wild and fun short stories that defy what you’ve come to expect from fairy tales. Come here about a baseball-slinging Cinderella and a modern-day Urashima. These students have it all and then some.
This event is free and open to the public.
