Emily, At-A-Site

A Summer initiative by the At-A-Site Theater company comes to an end today, August 31:

At-A-Site Theater’s marathon summer-long street theater project, titled “Celebrating the Birthdays of Dead Writers: The Afterlife of the Written Word” concludes with its final performance “Best of the Dead Writers” on Sunday at the Lexington Avenue Arts & Fun Festival downtown.
For this final day, At-A-Site Theater will be offering a “Best of the Dead Writers” interactive performance. Throughout the day, LAAFF passersby can choose from a menu of writers. Short selections or brief “random quotes” from the featured writer will then be read out aloud.
The listener will then receive a small business-card-size program that includes a quotation from the writer and the dates of the performance.
At-A-Site Theater presents theater in unusual spaces where theater and audience can meet. With “Celebrating the Birthdays of Dead Writers,” the troupe vowed to showcase a different writer every day beginning June 19. The words of 65 dead writers will have been presented by Sunday’s end, in Asheville, other N.C, towns and New York City. (Asheville Citizen-Times)

Last July 30, it was Emily Brontë's turn:
