Celebrating Writers and the Written Word

authorStaff Writer on Feb 7, 2025

“WORD,” a program that celebrates the written word as an art form and challenges writers to share works that resonate with an anchoring theme, returns to The Church for its fourth iteration, ‘WORD: Connection,” on Saturday, February 22 at 5 p.m.

“WORD” brings together writers, storytellers and performers for an evening of presence, performance, and reflection. In this iteration the curated writers have been asked to respond to the query, “How do we make connections?”

In an evening curated by writer and editor Drew Zeiba, the notable writers Hanna Baer, Tom House, Angie Sijun Lou and Nora Treatbaby will focus on contemplations of the query, examining the how, what and why of connection and connectivity, diving deep into the theme and its permutations and insinuations. A program co-created by The Church’s former programming manager Talena Mascali, “WORD” honors the legacy of Sag Harbor as a welcoming home for artists, writers, and creatives while celebrating the power and range of the written and spoken word.

Tickets are $15, for regular seating and with café table seating for $25 (limited tables available that seat four guests) at thechurchsagharbor.org. Some treats will be served and others will be available for purchase. The Church is at 48 Madison Street in Sag Harbor.
