An LLCC alum, Luis Ignacio Andrade, will be opening for author and comedian David Sedaris on Monday, Nov. 13 at the Harris Center for the Arts in Folsom, California. Andrade took Composition I with Tiffany Elliott in the fall 2019 and demonstrated a talent for writing autobiographical essays. In her feedback, Elliott told Andrade that his writing reminded her of Sedaris’ work. Andrade took two more writing courses at LLCC — Composition II with Elliott and Creative Writing with John Paul Jaramillo — and worked extensively with Laurie Myers and Lisa Avendano in the LLCC Writing Center to continue to hone his writing skills before transferring to the University of Louisville to study creative writing. In October 2022, Andrade had the opportunity to meet with Sedaris after a show and discuss his writing. Just over a year later, Andrade and Sedaris will appear on the same stage.
