Bad Girls
Thur., Dec. 3, 2015
Readings by Haili Graff, Gloria Harrison, Alex Behr & Margaret Malone + musical guest Born in A Car 8pm
Four of Portland’s finest writers read works with a decidedly Bad Girl bent. Margaret Malone will have her new book, “People Like You,” on hand for autographing. Get it now, she’ll be untouchable soon! Gloria Harrison will regale you with a sexy tale of identity, schadenfreude, and bad attitude. Haili Jones Graff is reading about boys – and drugs! – she’s loved, and Alex Behr shares the blood-stained prologue of her memoir.
Then Born In a Car (Tamar from the Pynnacles/Paradise, Alex and Matt of the Double U and Christen of Girl Feelings/Flash Flood & the Dikes) takes the stage for a set of punk and no-wave artifacts to blow the roof off this bad girl!
“Give It Back (You Stole It All)” (one-act play), performed at Readings of Writers by Other People, Place, Portland, OR, March 15, 2012
