Ira Glass at Troy Music Hall
The Ira Glass is set to return to the Troy Music Hall May 22. Tickets go on sale September 11 -- they're $35 and up.
Glass is, of course, the creator of the radio program This American Life, and a hugely influential figure within public radio. His appearance at the music hall will be another "Reinventing Radio" talk. Blurbage:
In Reinventing Radio, Ira will return to the Hall to once again talk about how they put together This American Life: what makes a compelling story and where they find these amazing tales. He mixes stories from the show, live onstage, recreating the sound of the show. And he plays funny and memorable moments from the show and talks about what was behind their creation.
Let's hope he goes easy on the crowd this time around and no one passes out.
Selected Shorts
The Ira Glass event is one a handful of new events the Troy Music Hall announced today. Also among the new slate: a performance of the popular public radio show Selected Shorts on November 13. Blurbage: The theme of the night at the Music Hall is "Uncharted Territories" - moving, comical, and surprising stories about unexpected encounters. Featured readers: Sam Underwood (The Following, Dexter), Patricia Kalember (Sisters), and Tony winner Boyd Gaines."
Tickets go on sale September 11. They're $27 and up.
