Welcome to WORDTheatre Weekly: The Short Story
Podcast where great authors and actors meet. I’m your host, Cedering Fox, WORDTheatre’s Founder & Artistic Director.
Today’s episode will feature another Pushcart Prize winning story from our Manhattan event last month, Growing Pains. Both the performer, Xander Berkeley, and the author, David Means, are very special longtime WORDTheatre contributors. We were thrilled to have them both with us on May 19th for a truly spectacular reading.
David Means has received the PEN/Bernard and Ann Malamud Award, the O. Henry Prize, and the Los Angeles Book Prize, among other accolades. He has been awarded multiple Pushcart Prizes throughout the years
