- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 10 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Actors Becky Ann Baker, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Jim Parsons, and Roslyn Ruff are joined by award–winning playwrights James Ijames and Sarah Ruhl, writer and poet Jacqueline Woodson, commentator Chris Hayes, and Tappan Wilder for a staged reading of The Long Christmas Dinner, Thornton Wilder’s one-act masterpiece that compresses 90 years of a family’s history into the span of a single holiday meal. Hosted by literary executor Jeremy McCarter.

The event celebrates the publication of Our Town and the Cosmic One-Acts, a landmark new collection of Wilder’s short plays, and is presented in partnership with the Public Theater.
