WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. —The Clark Art Institute hosts the return of the literary celebration The Writing on the Wall on Sunday, July 20 at 3 pm, featuring a quartet of award-winning actors performing short fiction readings.

This special program combines art, theater, and the written word. The event takes place in the Clark's auditorium, located in the Manton Research Center.

According to a press release:

James Naughton, Maria Tucci, John Benjamin Hickey, and Julie White star in a new program featuring dramatic and comic readings taking on searing and sublime subjects. Naughton delivers Michael Cunningham's stunning coming-of-age story “White Angel.” Tucci offers Margaret Atwood's devastating parable “Death by Clamshell,” in which Hypatia of Alexandria, a real-life figure who was murdered in late antiquity, narrates the story of her life and death at the hands of a mob. Hickey presents Thomas Meehan's classic comedy of wordplay "Yma Dream," and White takes on Lynna Williams's “Personal Testimony,” about trouble in Bible camp as a preadolescent preacher's daughter begins writing testimonies for her fellow campers.
