The 8 PM reading features the talents of John T. Woods, Tamika Katon-Donegal, Peter James Smith, Chase McKenna, Paul Elliot, Margaret McCarley and Paula Fins.

In Goliath, press notes state, "the main character David travels to Virginia to visit his dying grandmother while in the sun-scorched deserts of Biblical-era Gath, Goliath prepares for battle. As the fight approaches, the two worlds collapse into a comic re-envisioning of their mythic duel."

A reception with refreshments will follow the reading.
