Brooklynites Paul Rome and Roarke Menzies (Calypso) specialize in collaborating on literary performances featuring an experimental score and narrative. The latest work from writer Rome and composer and musician Menzies is Philadelphia and Other Stories, running December 18-20 at the Bushwick Starr. Part radio play, part performance art, part literary reading, Philadelphia and Other Stories is built around a New Year’s Eve road trip to the City of Brotherly Love, in addition to tales of skin rashes and romantic memories. The presentation is directed by Mark Jaynes, with Rome, Menzies, actress Katie Schottland, guitarist David Kammerer, and singer-songwriter Katie Mullins.
