House of SpeakEasy’s flagship program, “Seriously Entertaining,” is an acclaimed series of literary cabarets where authors take the stage to riff and ruminate informally, dinner-theater-style, on the evening’s theme. Since our debut show in 2014, House of SpeakEasy has been proud to feature a diverse range of authors and performers, from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists to acclaimed novelists and poets, as well as comedians, musicians, and emerging writers.

On September 17th, we will be kicking off our fall season of Seriously Entertaining by contemplating those defining moments in life. Join us to hear stories of sex, death, justice, and finding one’s voice told by professor of history and gender studies Rebecca Davis; opera composer and memoirist Ricky Ian Gordon; New York Times-bestselling author and Peabody award-winning journalist Sebastian Junger; and debut novelist and Deputy Director of Women in Leadership for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Iris Mwanza.
