Lilah Kemp 2.0

It's still going to be called Lilah Kemp.
It's still going to be a reading series that migrates from venue to venue each month.
It's still going to be awesome.

Season Two will launch next month and each episode will have a specific theme and title. The season will be split into two parts, and will consist of eight episodes.
The first four will run from January - April 2012.
Here are the themes and titles:

SEASON 2.0

EPISODE 1: EVERYTHING WILL BE OK

January wants hopefulness.
Stories and poems about overcoming obstacles and surviving tragedies. Characters that don't give up when everything in their life turns to shit. People who find ways to stay optimistic in a pessimistic world. Stories with happy endings...or endings that at least hint toward a happy ending.
This episode will also feature a screening of the Don Hertzfeldt short film "Everything will be O.K."
There are 4 spots open for literary readings.


EPISODE 2: THEORETICAL LOVE IS NOT DEAD

February wants romance.
Stories and poems about whatever you think love might be. Scenes with wet kisses in the rain. Images of romantic trips to rocky shores or lazy days together in bed. Couples who are deeply in love but just can't make it work. Stories of heartache and rejection are also welcome.
This episode will also feature musical performances.
There are 4 spots open for literary readings.


EPISODE 3: WOCKA WOCKA!

March wants laughter.
This episode will feature funny poems, essays, blogs, letters, or short stories. There will also be two sketch comedy performances.
There are 3 spots open for literary readings.


EPISODE 4: WICKED AND WEIRD

April wants crazy.
Stories about bad behavior or surreal experiences. Tales of pill-popping freaks or tortured creeps. Horror/thriller stories are very welcome here, or stories that are just plain fucked-up.
This episode will also feature a performance from a play.
There are 4 spots open for literary readings.


The titles and themes of the last four episodes will be announced over the coming months. The second half of the season will run from August - November 2012.
If you would like to participate in the first half of season two, please choose a theme and contact me through this blog or through Facebook.

This is going to kick ass.
