The Big Read: The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

The Ridgefield Playhouse in partnership with the Ridgefield Library has received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to host The Big Read in Ridgefield, an initiative of the Endowment designed to restore reading to the center of American culture.

To get involved just check out a copy of The Grapes of Wrath at the Library or purchase a discounted copy at Books on the Common and begin reading now. Participate in the many related events coming this fall including book discussions, movies, concerts, art exhibits, lectures, and more.

The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Arts Midwest. Click here for more information.
