Triad Arts with David Ford O. Henry Magazine Turns 1August 9, 2012Does the name William Sydney Porter ring a bell? No, well here’s a clue. He was born in Greensboro on September 11, 1862. Oh, and there’s a new periodical in the Triad that bears his name. It’s called O. Henry Magazine, and on this, the 150th anniversary of O. Henry’s birth, O. Henry Magazine turns exactly 1-year old.
The Greensboro-based arts and culture magazine has an outstanding stable of award-winning writers who know great story-telling just as well as they know their roots. The readership is expanding. O. Henry Magazine is thriving, and on its one- year anniversary O. Henry wants to give back. So, on Friday night September 21, at 6:30pm, O. Henry Magazine is throwing a fundraising gala at the O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro, of course. There will be five-course gourmet meal, with live music, visits from O. Henry play characters, and more. Proceeds benefit the educational programs of the Greensboro Historical Museum like local productions of O. Henry plays, and the revival of the O. Henry short story award.
Decades ago, David's guest today won that award. Since then he’s gone on to pen several best-selling books, and his work has appeared in more than 50 magazines and newspapers worldwide. He’s Founding Editor of O. Henry Magazine, Jim Dodson.
