Three stories each night, three nights each week. Beau O'Reilly teams up with one guest writer and one “famous” writer in rotating repertory. Starting at the Side Project in June and continuing at Center Portion in July.

Are you with us so far?

This Animal is all about the threes. And the combinations. For example, Beau meets Beckett meets Jenny Magnus. Beau meets Ernest Hemingway meets Mark Chrisler. Beau meets Lars Gustafsson meets Diana Slickman. Beau meets Donald Barthelme meets Chris Sullivan. And how can we leave out Beau meets John Starrs meets Jack Kerouac?
