The Lit Live Reading Series

7:00pm

First Thursday of the Month

Beginning on Thursday March 2nd, at 7:00 p.m., the reading series will move to The Staircase Theatre with hybrid literary events. Zoom users will be able to view our readings and performers at a distance from Hamilton will provide video performances or live-over-Zoom readings.

A link to each event is provided on this page, through other social media, and on our blog.

LIT LIVE IS SUPPORTED BY THE CANADA COUNCIL, THE ONTARIO ARTS COUNCIL, TWUC AND THE LEAGUE OF CANADIAN POETS.
