The HEAR Now Festival—the audio equivalent of a film festival—returns to Kansas City to celebrate storytelling in all its forms: live and scripted solo performances, multi-voiced performance, classic radio drama, experimental narrative, and more.
In this Saturday afternoon session, award-winning audiobook narrators including Barbara Rosenblat and Dion Graham discuss the appeal of audiobooks and how to become a narrator and they read from some of their favorite works. Rosenblatt also is known for her on-screen role as Miss Rosa on Netflix’ Orange is the New Black. Graham has played state’s attorney Rupert Bond on HBO’s The Wire, among other TV characters.
Presented by the National Audio Theatre Festivals, the four-day HEAR Now gathering runs through Sunday, June 14.
