The No Shoes Readings were founded to present a forum for writers in the greater Boston area to perform their work and receive feedback from an audience. They are referred to as the No Shoes Readings because they took place in a yoga studio where wearing shoes is...frowned upon.
Now that Aforementioned Productions is located in New York, the No Shoes Readings also extend to the five boroughs. So, if you are a writer in New York City or the greater Boston area--or one who would be willing to travel--and are interested in participating in your own reading, please contact us.
