Featuring Margarita Meyendorff, Steven Lewis, Tracey McNally, and Rhonda Zangwill. Opening a trunk to see a summer camp uniform or bar mitzvah suit or bridesmaid dress can transport us to another time and place. What do the things we wear say about who we are, or where we're going? For today's show, we've stitched together just three stories from the trunkload we presented for a live audience one snowy Sunday in March at our "What We Wore" event at SUNY Ulster in Stone Ridge, New York.

Writers Read™ is a literary forum promoting established and emerging writers through curated live and digital performances celebrating the spoken word. It’s a high-quality platform for true personal stories—two pages and 650 words long, read aloud by the writer before an audience. Read650 places a strong emphasis on the craft of writing—word choices, sentence structures, the arc of the narrative. Our submission-based events are developed around broad themes that invite a wide range of expression. An editorial committee curates and sequences the content of each show and, where necessary, our editors collaborate with writers to further refine their work.
