Stephen Colbert, Fionnula Flanagan, Frank and Malachy McCourt, and Marian Seldes will participate in Symphony Space's 27th annual Bloomsday on Broadway, a reading from James Joyce's classic novel Ulysses, on Monday, June 16 starting at 7pm. This year's event will be hosted and staged by Isaiah Sheffer.

The event will feature the first-ever performance of the book's "Ithaca" episode's complete, unedited text, a musical interlude from Joyce's Chamber Music, performed by soprano Judith Kellock, and a reading of the famed "Penelope" monologue by Flanagan.
