Kesey’s reading program reaches the end
The “Readin’ in the Rain” series will conclude today with the showing of the movie version of Ken Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion” at 6 p.m. at the McDonald Theatre.
“Readin’ in the Rain” is a city-wide reading program that featured reading and discussion of Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion.” Ken Babbs, an original member of the Merry Pranksters, will introduce the movie and the Shelley James Music Box, and the Sugarbeets will provide music entertainment after the film.
Promoters originally listed ticket prices at $20, but said donations will also be accepted for today’s show.
“We want to fill the place up,” said Scott Landfield, co-owner of Tsunami Books, one of the event’s sponsors.
