Taking in an evening of 'Fiction Live'
Nearly every table was occupied and not a bar stool empty Tuesday night at The Mint, a well-known Los Angeles dinner club. The audience did not come to see their favorite jazz guitarist or a rhythm-and-blues belter. Instead, they came to hear stories. Short stories, to be exact. Short stories read by actors Martin Mull, Julia Sweeney and Julian Sands.
In a two-night program co-sponsored by The New Yorker magazine, actors read short stories from the magazine's recent summer fiction issue and other issues. Wednesday night's readings were given by Will Ferrell, Swoosie Kurtz and Poppy Montgomery.
The performances were the fourth part of a series that started last year at the Public Theater in Manhattan and will travel to London in the fall.
