PORT TOWNSEND — PT Shorts, the free literary series from Key City Public Theatre and the Northwind Arts Center, is beginning a new season this weekend with two readings — one more than before — of works by social commentator Sarah Vowell.
There’s no charge to come listen to local actors performing at 7:30 p.m. tonight and again at 5:30 p.m. Sunday at the Northwind center, 701 Water St.
Many know Vowell from her contributions to public radio’s “This American Life,” her essays in the New York Times and appearances on “The Late Show” with David Letterman and “The Daily Show” with Jon Stewart.
She’s also author of The Partly Cloudy Patriot, Take the Cannoli and other books.
Key City Public Theatre’s new season of PT Shorts will continue presenting work by award-winning contemporary writers on the first weekend of each month. November’s writer is Greg Bear; December’s is Sheila Bender; and in January, Charles Johnson’s writing will take the spotlight.
