Writer and Stage Performer Robert Isenbert to Read Work at Bossa Nova
Robert Isenberg
Bossa Nova Café hosts this one-night event on May 31, 7 p.m., as part of its ongoing performing arts programming. The event is free and open to the public.
For 15 years, Isenberg has lived in Western Pennsylvania and used it as a springboard to the world—he has backpacked through post-war Bosnia, bicycled through France and journeyed to rural Laos, the most heavily bombed landscape in the world. Known throughout the Steel City for his prolific journalism, stage plays, verse and monologues, Isenberg brings his unique brand of prose to Franklin.
