So here in the new Seattle--Long Island-- we lost out on a great reading last Monday. But the good news is we have a stellar lineup this week--and we'll be rescheduling our readers from last week later in the summer.
The Readings start at 7pm at Schoolhouse Green, located on Foxhurst Road, just east of Long Beach Road, Oceanside NY.
Monday June 22nd, we will feature a truly outstanding lineup of Readers:
Richard Vetere wrote the novel The Third Miracle published by Simon & Schuster and he co-wrote the screenplay produced by Francis Ford Coppola starring Ed Harris, Anne Heche and directed by Agneiszka Holland. The movie was just screened at MOMA last winter and the novel has been translated into several languages and is Book of the Month Club in Spain and Poland. It was called "A thriller from start to finish" by Publishers Weekly. His new novel, Baroque, is being published by Brodighera Press this September. He has a dozen plays published by Dramatic Publishing including Gangster Apparel, Machiavelli and Caravaggio which recently ran in Chicago and where Mr. Vetere was a guest of the Chicago Humanities Festival and the Chicago Tribune wrote in a review "Lucid and complex dissection of such issues of religion, realism, art and romanticism...the play is fascinating." His play One Shot, One Kill was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize when it ran at Primary Stages in '02. His other feature films include the cult classic Vigilante '83, The Marriage Fool (aka Love After Death) with Walter Mathau and Carol Brunette '98, The Third Miracle '99 and How to Go Out On a Date in Queens 2006. He has written for several TV series including Dellaventura on CBS and Threat Matrix on ABC. His two published books of poetry are Memories of Human Hands and A Dream of Angels.
