Three beloved writers will be showcased in "Masters of the Genre," the next "Live! Lit," an afternoon of readings of some of the world's best short fiction, on Sunday, Feb. 13, at 3 p.m. at Fairfield University's Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts. Following a 2 p.m. tea, professional actors will read three stories in this ongoing Quick Center series.

Katie Sparer of Stratford will direct the readings. Weston actress Barbara Rhoades will read Anton Chekhov's "The Bet," while Ridgefield resident Lee Shephard will present "Rus in Urbe" by O. Henry. The final story is Katherine Mansfield's "Marriage a la Mode" read by Sarah Saltus of Bethel.

Tess Link, an actress, writer and member of the Westport-based Theatre Artists Workshop, is the series creator.

"Live! Lit" concludes its season with a final program, "On Parenting," which takes place March 13 and features Damon Runyon, Robyn Joy Leff and Gish Jen.
