The Shorthand Job Reading List

The Magnetic Theatre supports a community of artists and their collaboration is what inspires each of our productions. Because each production at The Magnetic Theatre is a new work, we often have direct access to the creators and the first-ever creative teams on these projects.

We reached out to the creative team of our upcoming production of The Shorthand Job about books they are reading as they are working on this production or works they’re pulling inspiration from. Here are their suggestions!

The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

The Highly Sensitive Person In Love by Elaine Aron

The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer

To The Wedding by John Berger

Socrates Cafe by Christopher Phillips

Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman
