Lifeline Theatre Hosts James Sie Book Event, October 4

Lifeline Theatre is thrilled to welcome James Sie to Lifeline Theatre for a book event and signing on Sunday, October 4 from 6:30- 8 p.m. Sie was a member of the Lifeline Theatre artistic ensemble from 1985 -1997, where he served as a playwright (Island of the Blue Dolphins – Non-Equity Jeff Award: New Adaptation, The Road to Graceland – After Dark Award: New Work, Dracula – Non-Equity Jeff nomination: New Adaptation, A Wrinkle in Time – Non-Equity Jeff nomination: New Adaptation), director, and actor.

Sie returns to Lifeline for a free event to promote his debut novel (with illustrator Sungyoon Choi), Still Life Las Vegas: A Novel, published August 11 by St. Martin’s Press (called “an often mesmerizing look at grief and coming of age” by Publishers Weekly and “richly imagined and beautifully written with a well-realized setting and memorable characters” by Booklist). The evening will include a wine and cheese reception, a concert reading selection from the novel featuring current Lifeline Theatre ensemble members, and a Q&A session moderated by Lifeline Artistic Director Dorothy Milne, followed by a book signing with Sie. Copies of Still Life Las Vegas: A Novel will be available for sale in the Lifeline lobby.
