Radio Live Arts: Another Damn Beautiful Journey
May 23 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
The Salon Series. May 2026.
Another Damn Beautiful Journey
Jennifer Schelter will read a section from her memoir Some Beauty about aging and the death of a dream:
How do women explore autonomy and aging in mid-life and later-life?
This reading will explore how the end of a dream and aging reshape identity, embraces vulnerability and grief, as access to self-discovery, and the creative purpose of honoring one’s life.
The reading will point to one woman’s need to redefine meaning, connection, and confidence in this stage of life.
The Salon Series is a performance series where art and audience become one living work, with an overarching theme: What does it mean to be fully oneself?
Through art and conversation, the evening becomes a meditation in self-awareness, collective wisdom and grace. an act of collective wisdom, liberation, and grace.

Radio Live Arts
This project is born out of a love of spoken word performance, audio drama, and old-time radio programs—anything where the connection between word, speaker, and audience is at its most focused. And also a little bit of cool sound engineering. We produce public performances, private performances, recordings, experiments, and more. Browse the site as you will, and if you need any help, have any questions, or would like to make interesting things with us, drop a line at words@radiolivearts.com.
