Poems, prose, music to benefit library

Wise Up!! is the title of an evening of poetry, prose and musical numbers by the Nighttown Academy of Poetry and Letters at Nighttown, 12387 Cedar Road, Cleveland Heights. Plain Dealer and former Beacon Journal columnist Regina Brett and Derdriu Ring will produce and direct the 5 and 7 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4 shows.

Among those reading or singing will be PD and former BJ television critic Mark Dawidziak, former PD and BJ writing coach Stuart Warner, the BJ's David Giffels, former BJ-er turned author Thrity Umbrigar and drop-of-the-hat commentator and talk-show host Dick Feagler, never at a loss for words. And, apparently, a cast of dozens.

Reservations at $20 a pop are available at (216) 795-0550. The shows will benefit the Cleveland Heights-University Heights public library. There also will be a silent auction.
