UCG OUT LOUD!
People reading to people.
Dr. Seuss OUT LOUD
UCG Out Loud is a series of live readings of your favourite stories, novels, plays and poems. UCG staff and students can read, listen, and enjoy!
The final scheduled OUTLOUD event of the academic year was a reading by UCG staff members from the many, many works of children's book author Dr. Seuss.
Dr. Seuss wrote and illustrated over sixty children's books in a wacky and wonderful style that won him the Pulitzer Prize, the Peabody Award, two Academy Awards, and numerous honours around the world. Famously, his stories are as much fun to read as they are hear.
!! Look for this one in Fall 2020 !!
Previous OUTLOUD readings
On Tuesday 19 May, from 1800-1900, faculty member Sean White read Mark Twain's hilarious short story, "Political Economy," a tale of writer's block, market forces, and lightning rods!
On Tuesday 2 June we had a double feature reading by two UCG faculty members reading aloud: Ryan Wittingslow read a fantastical and hilarious (fiction) short story by Manuel Gonzales, and Chris May read some of the extraordinary (non-fiction) psychological case studies by Oliver Sacks.
Gonzales' fiction operates somewhere between the fantastic and the domestic. In “The Miniature Wife” a husband is at war with his wife whom he, well, shrunk. Oliver Sacks' non-fiction stories tell of real people with extraordinary psychological disorders, and the struggle for what it means to be human.
