| Dan Clouse: Laredo Stories Reading & Plática The Laredo Center for the Arts invites you to an evening with author Dan Clouse for a special reading and plática centered on memory, place, and the evolving identity of Laredo. Through his work, Clouse revisits the small-town milieu of Laredo in the 1950s and 60s capturing the textures, voices, and moments that shaped a generation. His writing offers both a personal reflection and a shared cultural memory, bridging past and present through storytelling. This program features selections from Laredo Stories: A Boyhood on the Rio Grande, followed by a conversation with the audience. A book signing will take place after the program.
Join us as we reflect on the stories that continue to shape our community and the ones we carry forward. |
