CRYSTAL RADIO SESSIONS

A longtime AOH audience favorite, “Crystal Radio Sessions” is modeled after NPR’s “Selected Shorts” series and features the best of short fiction from writers in the Hudson Valley and Berkshires, read aloud by professional actors. This performance will feature Arthur Boyle’s “Angela Lives,” where a woman’s apartment takes on a life of its own; and Pamela Ryder’s “The Tintype of Billy the Kid,” where an itinerant tin typist makes his living taking portraits of the dead. The series is curated by Ashley Mayne, author of the novels Mankiller (2014), and Tiger (2015). Saturday, Sept. 23, 7pm, at Ancram Opera House.

Content Warning: “The Tintype of Billy the Kid” contains themes and depictions of death, grief, childbirth complications, violence, and sensitive topics related to mortality. Viewer discretion is advised, as these themes may be emotionally distressing for some individuals.
