We invite Vermont communities to plan projects centered around Last Night at The Telegraph Club and its themes of self-acceptance, familial and cultural ties, US/China relations, LGBTQ+ and Feminist history, McCarthyism and xenophobia, music of the 1940s and 1950s, and the Asian American experience, among others.
Follow the links below to help plan activities to support your project, and to help promote them.
Vermont Reads has shifted our program year. The start date for Last Night at the Telegraph Club is July 1, 2023, and applications for projects will be accepted through June 30, 2024.
