Dead Author Readings at Upright Citizens Brigade
Witness the conversation between some of the greatest minds in literature. Or basically a verbal cat fight between dead authors J.D. Salinger (Marc Evan Jackson) and Edgar Allan Poe (Craig Cackowski) with H.G. Wells (Paul F. Tompkins) moderating. They can be so bitchy! Anyway the audience not only gets to listen in on this but they get to ask questions, too, as they’re transported to an alternate universe where these guys are still alive and living during the same era.

• 7-9pm. $5. UCB Theater, 5919 Franklin, Los Angeles (map).
