PORT TOWNSEND — The humor of Elmore Leonard, Lenny Bruce, Jill Conner Brown and Dave Barry will take over the Pope Marine Building this Saturday night in a free “PT Shorts” program with a teasing title.

“X-Rated” is the name of this month’s reading, as always timed to coincide with Port Townsend’s first-Saturday-of-the-month Gallery Walk. The words will fly at 7:30 p.m. at the Pope Marine, which is on Water Street next to Pope Marine Park.

“X-Rated” is dedicated to those erroneously called “the weaker sex,” noted Todd Wexman, the director. He and Judith Glass Collins, a local actress and playwright, will read the adult-themed stories aloud.

They range from Barry’s “Guide to Guys,” Brown’s “The Sweet Potato Queen’s Book of Love,” Leonard’s “Freaky Deaky,” and “The Essential Lenny Bruce” as edited by John Cohen.

Key City Public Theatre presents PT Shorts each month with support from a Humanities Washington grant.
