Fresh, Organically, Locally Grown Literature in the time of Plague
Former Playwright-turned-fiction-writer Paul Mullin announced that his monthly live literary series Loud Mouth Lit will go online as “Crowd” Mouth Lit,
Crowd Mouth Lit, has evolved from the live public monthly reading series, Loud Mouth Lit, which took place in the back room of Green Lake’s St. Andrew’s Bar, featuring readings of his own original writing paired with new work by fellow Northwest authors: fabulous one-of-a kind talents like Scot Augustson, Kellleen Conway Blanchard, Tina Rowely, David Schmader and Lindy West, just to name a few. The authors would read their own works in front of a live audience
“Obviously, we won’t be doing any live public readings for a while. This makes me sad, of course. But it’s a very small price to pay to help keep everyone as safe as possible during these difficult times. Also, due to social distancing guidelines, every theater in the Seattle area is closed, meaning that every professional actor in town is now out of work, indefinitely. Over the last few weeks I have been ardently brainstorming ideas for how we might mitigate these two situations, and I have come up with Loud Mouth Lit” said Mullin
Helping Mullin will be audio-books impresario Lyssa Brown of Cedar House audio, plus whatever local actors “we can convince to join the fun.” It will be online at Indiegogo, at this link: https://igg.me/at/crowdmouth/x/2624491#/.
As little as $10 will buy one recording starting as early as April.
“As a playwright, I advocated for fresh, organic, locally grown theatre, with an
accelerated turnaround time (think “farm-to-table”). Now I’m applying that same
philosophy to my new writing. That’s why Loud Mouth Lit is, and always will be:
Fresh, local, organic. If it’s good for food, it’s good for art. Focused on the array of amazing writers, and now actors, living and creating” said Mullin.
That’s right in the time of plague we need fresh, organic locally grown food, laughter and creativity, as well as connection with each other.
