Boise State University's MFA Reading Series Co-Sponsors Richard
Bausch Reading to Benefit Casa Program
The Boise State University MFA Reading Series will co-sponsor “An Evening with
Richard Bausch,” a benefit for the Court Appointed Special Advocate Program, at
7 p.m. April 20 at the Big Easy Concert House. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets
are $15 general and $5 students in advance by contacting David Nicholas at
davidnicholas@boisestate.edu
or by visiting the Boise State Department of English Office in Room 228 of the
Liberal Arts Building. Tickets also are available for $20 general and $10

Bausch is one of America’s premier writers and the author of 10 novels and seven
collections of short stories. He has received numerous awards, including a
National Endowment for the Arts fellowship, a Guggenheim fellowship and an Award
in Literature from the Academy of Arts and Letters. He is a professor at the
University of Memphis.
All benefits from the event will be donated to CASA, a program that uses trained
volunteers to speak in court for the best interests of abused and neglected
children, the majority of whom are younger than the age of 6. “An Evening with
Richard Bausch” is sponsored by the MFA Reading Series, The Big Easy, and
Albertsons, a Supervalu company.
