Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids
Series produced by Dan Misener
Remembering the good, bad, and awkward parts of growing up.
Since 2007, Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids has invited audiences to remember the good, the bad, and the awkward parts of growing up. Courageous adults read their childhood and teenage diaries, poetry, short stories, letters from camp, and much more… out loud in front of an audience.
The show’s primary goal is to entertain. But beyond that, the aim is to invite listeners to reflect on their own lives, to connect with who they used to be, and to draw a line that connects the past and the present.
Embarrassing, moving, and hilarious, these readings are powerful reminders of who we used to be. They’re compelling stories, at once deeply personal, yet surprisingly universal.
