“Ira Glass: Stories for a Saturday Night”: Ann Arbor Summer Festival
This award-winning Chicago radio personality, best known as the host of the offbeat syndicated NPR weekly program This American Life, tells stories in the style of the show live onstage, combining his narration with pretaped quotes and music. The program takes a theme—party schools, babysitting, the housing crisis—as the basis for an hour of stories, monologues, minidocumentaries, and other often indefinable pieces for radio. The New York Times describes Glass as “a journalist but also a storyteller who filters his interviews and impressions through a distinctive literary imagination, an eccentric intelligence, and a sympathetic heart.” 7:30 p.m., Power Center. Tickets $52–$73 in advance at a2sf.org & (if available) at the door. (734) 994–5999.
