This fall contributors from Waywords and Meansigns will play two shows in Western Massachusetts, performing material from Finnegans Wake. Guaranteed, it will be weird, wild and fun.
The first show is Saturday, September 26 at Flywheel Arts Collective. Flywheel is an all volunteer-run community space located in downtown Easthampton, Massachusetts. 43 Main Street. The show will start at 7PM, $5-10 suggested donation (no one turned away for lack of funds). There is a Facebook event page here.
The second show is Saturday, October 3 in Amherst, Massachusetts. Waywords and Meansigns is headlining the Amherst Poetry Festival (co-hosted by the town of Amherst and the Emily Dickinson Museum). The show will be held in downtown Amherst, at the Pacific Lodge. 99 Main Street. The show starts at 9PM. Free. There is a Facebook event page here.
Please spread the word!
