Pithy Party

Pithy Party is a signature Playful Substance event that gives our Writers’ Group members a chance to strut their stuff while we open our doors to meet new-to-us artists. 

This year’s Pithy Party will feature readings of short pieces and excerpts of new works  that will be cast from volunteers in our attending audience. 
​

To attend/participate you must be over the age of 21.  
Tickets are $10 online and $15 at the door. ​
