River Styx Reading Series

Due to COVID-19, the 2021 Reading Series will be held over Zoom.

The River Styx Reading Series is our featured event during the fall, winter, and spring, in which we invite both local and national acclaimed writers to read their work for a St. Louis audience.

Readings start at 7:00 p.m. on the third Monday of the month.

$5 general admission
$4 students and seniors

Please note: Mapping programs don’t always direct people to our correct location; we aren’t sure why. We are at the corner of Washington and N. Leonard, a few blocks east of the Fox Theatre and north of the SLU campus.
