Includes a conversation with Sean Penn

The director (his filmmaking resume includes The Indian Runner and Into the Wild) and two-time Academy Award-winning actor (Mystic River, Milk) comes to the Bing Theater with a special project. He will stage a one-man reading of the absurdist comic novel Bob Honey by first time author Pappy Pariah. Penn will read the book—part of a project with Amazon Audible, which will release an audio version of Pariah’s book read by Penn—and sit for a conversation after the reading concludes.
