Boston Progress Arts Collective is delighted to host an evening of art featuring Patrick Wang reading from his new book The Monologue Plays, preceded by Franny Choi performing spoken word poetry! A discussion and book signing will follow Patrick’s reading.

Like many of our events, this one will be at the East Meets West Bookstore (934 Mass Ave). The event is free and open to the public.

Patrick Wang is an actor, writer and director. New York credits include the world premiere of White by Chay Yew (Bank Street Theater) and Oresteia (Theater for the New City). Boston credits include Edward II (Tremont Theater) and Surviving the Nian (Calderwood Pavillion). Television: Saturday Night Live, One Life to Live. Film: Surveillances (Best American Short Film, Avignon Film Festival), Little Mary (British Film Institute Selection). He has taught at the Neighborhood Playhouse and the Stella Adler Studio. Current projects include the forthcoming recording/book project The Monologue Pairs and his feature film In the Family.

Franny Choi is a junior at Brown University and head of WORD!, Brown’s spoken word poetry group. She has performed at several New England colleges and has opened for Anis Mojgani, Derek Brown, and Buddy Wakefield. She is currently working nonstop on VISIONS (Brown’s Asian-American literary magazine) and is completing work on her play, Mask Dances, which will be produced at Rites and Reason Theater in fall of 2010. Franny just started watching Boys Before Flowers and is very happy with that decision.
