FRAMINGHAM – On Thursday, June 11 at 8 pm, A Lifely Read and ātac (formerly known as Amazing Things Arts Center) will present a community literary event via Zoom as well as streaming live on Facebook.

We’re piecing together interesting readers … to read interesting pieces together. Hop online and enjoy an evening of literary entertainment as you listen to selected works – from classic to contemporary, all revolving around the theme of “Fate” – read aloud by members of our community. A lively Q+A will follow.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Framingham Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
