    This is a past event


    This event has been canceled as part of Getty’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19).

    Pen and paper, a tango, peanut butter and jelly: some things just take two. The hit public radio show and podcast Selected Shorts returns to the Getty to celebrate the power of two with classic and contemporary short fiction featuring a pair of strong characters that push one another to unexpected conclusions, and stories that emphasize what happens in moments of great cooperation, competing desires, and unexpected encounters. At this weekend of literature in performance, renowned actors of stage and screen will be paired with authors to bring the written word to life. Grab your partner, best friend or your arch-nemesis and find out why two heads are better than one.

    "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller
