CrossTalk in Katonah starts Sept. 15

Actor Chazz Palminteri and TV chef Daisy Martinez will launch this year’s series of CrossTalk lectures in Katonah.

Now in its third season, CrossTalk, the provocative, lecture series named Best of Westchester in 2010, returns on September 15 with Burritos Over Broadway featuring Martinez and actor/director Palminteri. 

The series of four talks is produced by the Katonah Museum of Art in partnership with the Katonah Village Library. Burritos Over Broadway begins with a wine reception at the Katonah Village Library at 6:30 and the program begins at 7pm.

CrossTalk features two experts talking on unrelated topics, with the collision of disparate subjects leading to unexpected insights and connections during the audience question-and-answer period that follows.

September 15 –Burritos Over Broadway (at the Katonah Village Library) Featuring Daisy Martinez (TV chef) and Chazz  Palminteri (actor/director)
