David Sedaris, Alys Stephens Center

Humorist and National Public Radio star David Sedaris will be appearing at the Alys Stephens Center this Sunday but you’ll have to figure out a way to get tickets. According to the Alys Stephens Center website, the show is sold out. We say give them a call, just in case. Here’s what the ASC has to say about Sedaris:

“The master of satire returns! NPR humorist and best-selling author David Sedaris is one of our all-time favorites. His performances are always a hit, providing sold-out audiences with hilarious readings from his books including ‘Naked,’ ‘Me Talk Pretty One Day,’ and ‘Holidays on Ice.’ Sedaris may be the closest thing the literary world has to a rock star.”

If that’s the case, maybe there will be a scalper outside the doors selling “reasonably priced” tickets.

Cost: $25-45, students $10.

From the email announcing tomorrow’s movie:

In late 19th century England, an inexperienced young woman (Kerr) becomes governess to a small orphan girl living in a lonely stately home occupied only by the child, a housekeeper and a small complement of servants. Her initial misgivings allayed by the child’s angelic nature, her anxieties are once more aroused when the girl’s brother, equally captivating, is sent home from boarding school for wickedness of some unspecified kind…
