November Prose Café Features a Playwright, a Memoirist, and a Short Story Writer

For its November 7 event, Prose Café is mixing it up and featuring three different genres. Please join us for what promises to be a fun and interesting evening.

Playwright Sharon Steeber works in multiple genres. She has published an immigrant novel, developmental textbooks for college students, magazine and newspaper columns, and other journalism. She recently completed a novel, But Do You Love Me with ‘Locura’? Her play For Sure appeared in the San Miguel Playwrights’ Winter Showcase of short plays earlier this year.

Steven Dunn is a retired San Francisco Bay Area CPS (Child Protective Services) worker. While employed there, he edited the magazine, Griot, an anthology of stories written by children living in the foster-care system. He holds an MA in English from California State University, Hayward, and has published non-fiction and fiction in magazines such as SmokeLong Quarterly, Fugue Journal (University of Idaho), Raising Black Children, and Mediphors.

In Tap Dancing on a Hot Skillet, Gabrielle Brie’s recently completed memoir, she uses painterly images to chronicle the life of a young, Jewish girl learning to survive in a racist culture in the Deep South in the nineteen fifties and sixties. Her many challenges include living with a mentally unstable father, a man who can be zany and loving at times, and unpredictable and explosive at others. Brie is also the founder of Rescue San Miguel, which has saved over 300 street dogs in town.

Prose Café Bellas Artes is run by volunteers and offers monthly readings of excellent prose, September to April. Please arrive a few minutes early; seating is limited.
