Event Description

The Balzekas Museum Book Club invites you to a
reading and discussion of Antanas Sileika’s memoir
The Barefoot Bingo Caller led by actress and teacher Audrė Budrys.
Antanas Sileika finds what’s funny and touching in the most unlikely places, from the bingo hall to the collapsing Soviet Union. He shares stories that span his attempts to shake off his suburban, ethnic, folk-dancing childhood to his divided allegiance as a Lithuanian-Canadian father.

Everyone is welcome to attend and purchase in advance the book The Barefoot Bingo Caller at the Balzekas Museum gift shop.
Location: Balzekas Museum, 6500 S. Pulaski Rd., Chicago
