Line Break has big news! Our 2016 debut season was terrific, with three regular shows at Q.E.D. and two auxiliary shows on the road. You, our wonderful audience, made all that possible.

But 2017 is poised to be much bigger. Starting with Issue #4 on Saturday, February 4, Line Break will be a monthly show! That's right. From now on, the eclectic live literary magazine you know and (we hope) love will be coming to you the first Saturday of every month, with great, diverse lineups drawn from every discipline and genre.

You like poetry? We've got it. Personal essays? Check. Cutting-edge fiction? Don't even doubt it. High-brow, low-brow, no-brow, we have it covered. The common thread is great writing, read for you live.

Stay tuned for the announcement of our spectacular February 4 lineup, then block out the first Saturday of every month to join us at Q.E.D. in Astoria, Queens. The fun gets started at 3:00 pm. Tickets are $7, in advance or at the door.

See you February 4!

Line Break Goes Monthly Starting in February 2017!
